Maharashtra Politics / Eknath Shinde cried in Matoshree, said - If he does not go with BJP, he will put him in jail, Aditya Thackeray's big claim

Maharashtra Politics: Aditya Thackeray has made a big disclosure regarding the split in Shiv Sena and the rebellion of Eknath Shinde. During his one-day visit to Hyderabad, Aditya Thackeray, while interacting with the students at a program of Geetam University, said that Eknath Shinde had come to Matoshree (the private residence of the Thackeray family) before the split in the Shiv Sena. They started crying and said to go with BJP, otherwise they will put us in jail. They were saying that if I don't go with BJP, I will go to jail.

Aditya Thackeray said that there was terror on Eknath Shinde's face. He was crying sitting in Matoshree. That is, Eknath Shinde rebelled due to the fear of jail. Aditya Thackeray said, 'These 40 people went for money, for their seats. The present Chief Minister then came to my house and cried. The reason for this was that the Central Investigation Agency was about to arrest him. Then he said that if I did not go with the BJP, he would put me in jail.

Aditya Thackeray's biggest personal attack on Eknath Shinde for the first time

The Thackeray faction has been alleging that Hindutva was never an issue. Due to the fear of ED-CBI and the greed of '50 khoke, ekdho ok' (50-50 crores), the MLAs supporting the Shinde faction were split in the Shiv Sena either by intimidation or by luring them. But for the first time Aditya Thackeray has personally attacked Eknath Shinde and made his very personal moments public. Now how much truth is there in this, only Eknath Shinde can tell.

'Had BJP respected Balasaheb Thackeray, Shiv Sena would not have broken up'

Aditya Thackeray along with Rajya Sabha MP Priyanka Chaturvedi was on a day's visit to Hyderabad University. Aditya Thackeray made this disclosure in a program organized on this occasion. Aditya Thackeray further said that even in 2014, BJP had stabbed Shiv Sena in the back. If BJP had the same respect for Balasaheb Thackeray and his thoughts, then today they would not have gone ahead in the campaign to destroy his party (Shiv Sena). We have no fight with BJP. BJP has cheated us.

'Balasaheb Thackeray's Hindutva is different, BJP's is different - it is wrong to compare the two'

Aditya Thackeray also said in this program that Balasaheb Thackeray's Hindutva was different. He did not believe in BJP's Hindutva. BJP's Hindutva is not acceptable to Uddhav Thackeray, me and the whole of Maharashtra. Today BJP instigates riots. We don't do that. If we broke the relationship with BJP, we have not become any less Hindu. We were Hindus then also, we are still Hindus.

'Ram temple is not being built because of BJP, it is being built because of SC's decision'

Aditya Thackeray further said that this misconception should be removed from the heart that BJP has contributed in the construction of Ram temple in Ayodhya. Today Ram Mandir is being built there not because of BJP but because of the decision of the Supreme Court. Why doesn't BJP, which calls itself the world's biggest Hindutva party today, speak anything on Kashmiri Pandits? Why are Kashmiri Pandits being killed even today?
