BJP indulging in power jihad, says Uddhav Thackeray

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulging in “power jihad” by breaking political parties to be in government.

Countering Union minister Amit Shah’s comment against him as being the head of the “Aurangzeb Fan Club”, he also



accused Shah of being the ‘political descendent’ of Ahmad Shah Abdali, an Afghan ruler who defeated Marathas in the battle of Panipat.

Attacking the BJP, Thackeray accused the former ally of breaking parties, a reference to the split in the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
