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.

Accusations of the I.N.D.I.A. alliance

Thackeray didn’t hold back on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s accusation over the ‘I.N.D.I.A.’ alliance of being comprised of parties opposing democracy and freedom. He vehemently questioned the PM Modi’s criticism, challenging the notion that naming the alliance ‘I.N.D.I.A.’ would mislead the people.

Provocative taunts on PM Modi’s foreign visits

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.

Thackeray’s challenge to PM Modi

Thackeray’s bold challenge involved tying Rakhi to women in Manipur who were subjected to public humiliation, along with Bilkis Bano, the survivor of the 2002 Gujarat communal riots. He also took aim at Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over the Aurangzeb’s son remark.

Uddhav Thackeray’s blistering attack on the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi has amplified the already tense political atmosphere. The ‘I.N.D.I.A.’ alliance accusations, along with the provocative Rakhi taunts, have sparked widespread debates.
