‘BJP scared, unproductive and corrupt’: Uddhav’s attack after PM Modi’s ‘fake party’ barb at Shiv Sena (UBT)

“It is bhekad because it is using agencies to target the Opposition with raids and arrests. It is bhakad because it has failed to create a leader and it is bhrashta because all the corrupt leaders in the country are joining the BJP,” he said. “This BJP is a party of extortionists. This has been proved by the electoral bond scheme. This leader (Modi) belongs to this party of extortionists.”

Modi made the remarks about the Shiv Sena (UBT) while campaigning in Chandrapur.

Taking a further dig at the BJP, Thackeray said that on Monday the world experienced three things—a solar eclipse, no-moon day and the BJP’s rally at Chandrapur.

“I just want him (PM Modi) to remember that his party’s then president, Amit Shah, had come to bow down in front of Balasaheb Thackeray’s photo in 2019 and I was there. You might have forgotten this, but people have not… If he is happy with the Chinese goods (apparently referring to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde) with him then I wish him luck,” he said.

Asked about Modi’s criticism of his Nationalist Congress Party, Sharad Pawar said, “[The office of] the prime minister is an institution and we respect it. But no PM other than Narendra Modi has disrespected it so much.”
