He further asked, “Is BJP walking on the lines of RSS ideology is the question you should ask. Are they even following what Mohan Bhagwat ji has been preaching for last two to three years?”

When asked about multi-party alliance, Uddhav Thackeray said that Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji had made alliance with bringing nearly thirty partners together.
