Uddhav Thackeray seeks united Opposition, probe into Adani Group

“Now, the Opposition is being targeted. There is rampant misuse of ED, CBI, IT… It appears they are being directed by those in power. Individuals are accused of corruption when in Opposition but the same individuals, when they join BJP, are absolved of all corruption charges.”

Seeking a united Opposition, Thackeray said, “Today, all Opposition parties are together fighting BJP. West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal, Congress and NCP, all have come together to fight BJP.”

Maintaining that all Opposition leaders will meet and decide on the Lok Sabha elections, Thackeray said a PM face should be projected before the polls. On NCP chief Sharad Pawar going against ally Congress’ stand on seeking a JPC probe into Adani group, Thackeray said, “I believe there should be no differences within the Opposition.”

“There should be a probe into the Adani matter. Where has Rs 20,000 crore gone? Whether it is through the JPC or Supreme Court recommended panel can be decided,” he added.

On his tenure as the CM, Thackeray said, “I made a promise to Balasaheb Thackeray that I will make a Shiv Sena worker the CM. The promise still remains unfulfilled. It was at the behest of Pawar and others that I became the CM. I never aspired to become the CM. In 2024, it would be my endeavour to see MVA return to power.”
