Use of Central agencies against relatives of MVA leaders shows BJP’s ‘inhuman face’: Shiv Sena

The BJP has become a “butt of jokes” in the State, an editorial in the Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ said.

The Shiv Sena on Monday said it can understand the use of Central agencies for targeting leaders of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government in Maharashtra, but claimed the “harassment” of their family members shows the “inhuman face of the BJP”.

People normally say they have lost faith in a government. But in Maharashtra, it is the opposite. The BJP has become a “butt of jokes” in the State, an editorial in the Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ said.

“The BJP uses the CBI, Enforcement Directorate, I-T (Income Tax Department) and the NCB (Narcotics Control Bureau) for its own agenda. Thackeray exposed these attacks being made through the ED and CBI…the attacks are like using Shikhandi as a shield,” it said.
