Will fight back: Uddhav Thackeray #IndiaNEWS #India
Mumbai: Digging in his heels, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday expressed determination to fight the political crisis gripping his government and took on Cabinet Minister Eknath Shinde, saying the rebel leaders son is a Lok Sabha MP and should his son Aaditya Thackeray not also grow politically as both sides showed no signs of backing down to break the four-day-old impasse.
In a virtual address to party functionaries, the Shiv Sena president said he was not worried over the defection by MLAs as he considers them fruits and flowers of a tree which have been blighted by disease. You may take the fruits and flowers of tree. But till the roots (rank and file) are strong, I need not worry. The roots can never be uprooted. Every season, new leaves and fruits blossom. Leaves blighted by disease need to be removed and thrown. Consider the present situation in this context,� Thackeray told the party rank and file. He said he may have moved out of the official residence of the Chief Minister, but his determination to fight the crisis remains intact. “I have given up the temptation by moving out of the Chief Ministers official bungalow (Varsha) but not my determination to fight back, he asserted and made it clear he is not after power.
Thackeray said Shinde told him sometime back that Sena MLAs feel the party should go back with former ally BJP. What kind of Shiv Sainiks are you? Dont you feel agitated by the BJPs use and throw policy and when baseless charges are made against Matoshree (the private residence of the Thackerays in suburban Bandra), he said. The department of urban development, which is currently with Shinde, had been always with the Chief Minister. Your son (Shrikant Shinde) can be an MP, but should not Aaditya also grow politically, he asked. Shrikant Shinde is the Lok Sabha MP from Kalyan, while the CMs son, Aaditya Thackeray, is a State Cabinet Minister holding the environment and tourism portfolios.
Hitting out at Shinde, who is camping in Assam with rebel MLAs, Thackeray said, He was made a Minister twice after Balasaheb Thackerays death (in 2012). Twice we were in power (after 2012). He was given the departments which are normally kept by the Chief Minister himself. You should keep Thackeray name out of your politics and see if you can survive. One can never detach the Thackerays from the Shiv Sena, he said. The party has suffered electoral reverses several times, but victory or defeat depends on ones state of mind, he said, adding Lets consider we have no one with us. we have to create a new Shiv Sena. Consider we are starting from the scratch. If you feel you have better prospects going with the rebels you can leave.
