Oppn parties’ meet in Patna: Uddhav’s ideology fully compromised: Uday Samant

“Looking at the situation right now, one can easily say that Uddhav’s ideology has been completely compromised. He sat next to ones (Mehbooba Mufti and Omar Abdullah) who have been opposing the repeal of Article 370. It was Balasaheb’s dream that if made the prime minister for one day, he would repeal the Article,” Samant said.

Samant added that there is no ideological common ground in the Opposition meeting. “They got united just to safeguard the future of their sons and daughters. There is no challenge to us since they have no common ideology through which they can build a foundation,” he said, adding, “Maharashtra will not accept Nitish Kumar as the Prime Minister”.

Tearing into Opposition “unity”, Samant said that the Opposition parties in Maharashtra should first get their house in order. “The MVA itself is in shambles. The Sena (UBT) has no future, the NCP should first sort out family issues and the Congress state president has no power in his own party. They are claiming that the Opposition front is to save democracy, but the fact is they want to save themselves and their families from becoming politically irrelevant,” he said.

Samant added that questions must be asked to Sena (UBT) leaders who attended the meeting whether there was a discussion on Article 370. “Do they also not support the construction of Shri Ram temple? What is their stand on these issues,” he asked.
