Amid his high-voltage campaigning for the Mumbai civic polls, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray today sought to assert his legitimacy in calling the shots in the party’s prime political space, invoking the legacy of his late father and party founder Bal Thackeray.
“…Yes, I am. I definitely am the boss being (late) Shiv Sena supremo Balasaheb Thackeray’s son. Even they (BJP) have to accept that I am the boss as I also head a powerful organisation. But, these (BJP leaders) are the people who can merely level allegations, but have no worth,” Thackeray said in the second part of his interview in Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’.
He alleged that the BJP-led governments in Maharashtra and at the Centre only tried to constantly pull the Sena’s leg, instead of supporting it in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
