What happened to Shiv Sena can happen to you to too: Uddhav to political parties on EC order
The Hindu
Taking a jibe at Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Uddhav Thackeray said, "'Mogambo khush hua' on the Election Commission order."
Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday said all political parties need to open their eyes and remain cautious in the wake of the Election Commission's decision of recognising the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as the real Shiv Sena.
The Election Commission (EC) on Friday recognised the Shinde-led faction as the real Shiv Sena and ordered allocation of the 'bow and arrow' poll symbol to it, in the process delivering a big blow to Mr. Thackeray, whose father Bal Thackeray founded the outfit in 1966.

"What has happened to Shiv Sena, how we have been treated, can happen to you too. All parties should keep their eyes open and be cautious," Mr. Thackeray said during an interaction with members of north Indian community here.
"You want my father's face, but not his son. I was ready to come along. If you ditch me when I wanted to implement a promise given to my father, what should I do?" he asked while targeting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
"I never wanted to be a Chief Minister, but was asked by Congress and NCP to take over because otherwise a government could not have been formed. Had BJP honoured the commitment given, both Shiv Sena and BJP would have got their Chief Ministers for two-and-a-half years each," he said.
“Some people from my party defected. Those who want to leave can go, but they should merge with another party. However, they want to throw me out of my house and take it over,” he alleged.
