Uddhav Thackeray is pandering to appeasement politics: BJP MLA Ashish Shelar
The BJP has slammed the Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) for ‘indulging in appeasement politics’ by enjoying the ‘Marathi Muslim’ card.
The Shiv Sena mouthpiece, Saamna, just lately carried an article on ‘Marathi Muslims’, claiming that the Marathi Muslim Seva Sangh was backing Uddhav Thackeray. The organisation is alleged to be unfold throughout Mumbai, Konkan, Marathwada, Vidarbha, and western Maharashtra.
Commenting on the report, BJP Mumbai president Ashish Shelar stated: “The Shiv Sena (UBT) has strategically used the time period Marathi Muslims. However then the query is why is Uddhav Thackeray pursuing this politics of appeasement.”
“Prior to now, Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray by no means accredited of appeasement politics. On the contrary, Bal Thackeray by no means allowed politics based mostly on caste, group, and faith,” the BJP Bandra West MLA stated.
Shellar additional stated, “It was Mughal ruler Aurangzeb who had harboured ambitions to seize Maharashtra… The query is does the Shiv Sena wish to pursue Aurangzeb’s aim?”
Commenting that the BJP will begin a state-wide marketing campaign to ‘expose Shiv Sena (UBT)’s appeasement politics’, Shelar stated: “We are going to launch the Jagar Mumbaicha Yatra in November.”
Exuding confidence that the BJP will probably be victorious within the forthcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Company polls, Shelar stated: “The Shiv Sena (UBT) is afraid of defeat. It might clearly sense it’s dropping floor… it’s doing every part attainable in opposition to its personal ideology to realize votes.”
The BJP chief questioned, “Why is the Uddhav Thackeray-led occasion speaking solely about Marathi Muslims, why not Marathi Jains or Marathi Gujaratis?” Its ploy will alienate it from all different communities together with Hindus, Jains, and Gujaratis, Shelar added.
