Uddhav Thackeray challenges PM Modi: Will you allow Bilkis Bano to tie Rakhi on Rakshabandhan?

The 'I.N.D.I.A.' alliance accusations, along with the provocative Rakhi taunts, have sparked widespread debates.

Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray left no stone unturned in lashing out at the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. During a charged speech, Thackeray criticized the PM for his remarks on the opposition alliance being named I.N.D.I.A. The rally, attended by workers of Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Sambhaji Brigade, witnessed Thackeray taunting the government and raising questions about PM Modi’s intentions. The provocative mention of tying Rakhi to Bilkis Bano and Muslim women added fuel to the already intense political fire.

In a stinging taunt, Thackeray questioned whether PM Modi meets foreign leaders as the Prime Minister of ‘India’ or as the chief servant of the Indian Mujahideen. The reference to Modi’s international diplomatic meetings has sparked further debate.

Rakhi row ignites controversy

Thackeray targeted the Bharatiya Janata Party for inducting leaders from other parties, alleging that the BJP has transformed into a party of defectors. The mention of PM Modi allegedly asking NDA MPs to have Muslim women tie Rakhi added a new dimension to the political battle.
