Sena accuses BJP of using Hindutva as per political convenience
A war of word has erupted, yet again over Hindutva, between former partners Shiv Sena and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) with each claiming to be the real saviour of Hindutva.
On Sunday, on the occasion of birth anniversary of Sena founder late Bal Thackeray, Maharashtra Chief Minister and his son Uddhav Thackeray accused BJP of using Hindutva as per political convenience. “BJP doesn’t mean Hindutva. I stand by my comment that Shiv Sena had wasted 25 years in alliance with the BJP,” he said.
On Monday, former Chief Minister and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis claimed that it was the BJP which took bullets for Ram temple in Ayodhya while the leaders of the Sena were busy giving speeches.
