BJP giving Chavan RS nomination is disrespect to martyred soldiers: Uddhav

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray slammed the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that if Ashok Chavan gets the Rajya Sabha nominations from BJP then it would be an amount to BJP disrespecting martyred soldiers.

While speaking at a public rally in Ahmednagar, Uddhav said it was PM Modi who had said Chavan had insulted martyred soldiers in the Adarsh scam and that the former Congress leader might be joining the BJP to clear his name from the Adarsh scam.

“When PM Modi and DCM Fadnavis had gone to Nanded (Chavan’s home district) to address a rally, Modi had mentioned about corruption and Adarsh scam. They had said that Chavan had disrespected families of the martyred soldiers. But if the PM sends him (Chavan) to the Rajya Sabha, then it will amount to disrespecting the soldiers,” Uddhav said.
