Amid the deepening political turmoil in Maharashtra, Chirag Paswan, the president of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), on Monday said Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray has been "backstabbed by his own party leaders".
He claimed that something similar had happened to him last year, when "leaders of his party betrayed him and formed a separate outfit".
"Uddhav Thackeray has been backstabbed by his own party leaders. Same thing had happened to me last year when my own party leaders betrayed me and formed a separate party," said Mr Paswan, when asked for his reaction to the Maharashtra crisis.
He was replaced as Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief in June last year by uncle Pashupati Paras, who had orchestrated a coup against him.
