‘BJP is anti-Maharashtra, exploits religious divide when it fears defeat’: Shive Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray

The Hindu  

The BJP lacks another prominent face to replace Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whereas the INDIA bloc have multiple leaders who can take up the role of the PM, Aaditya Thackeray claims a strong undercurrent favouring the Opposition alliance across the country. What makes you to believe that the BJP harbours animosity towards Maharashtra, a State that sends 48 MPs to the Lok Sabha, second only to Uttar Pradesh’s 80 seats? This is not to express any bias against Gujarat, but rather to highlight the BJP’s apparent preference for imposing Gujarati contractors on our State, depriving Maharashtra of job opportunities and industries. Would you ever reconsider forging an alliance with the BJP, given that your party has aligned with the Congress, the Shiv Sena’s arch rival?
