Mumbai: Accusing Shiv Sena, Union Home minister Amit Shah said that the three parties who have staked claim to form the government in Maharashtra did so by shedding their ideologies and principles.
During the Republic Summit, Shah said, “Who broke the mandate first? I clearly think it was done by the Shiv Sena first. I am quite clear that Shiv Sena violated the spirit of mandate. No one tells Shiv Sena about this.”
The BJP president Amit Shah tweeted a video clip of their conversation and wrote: “It is the Shiv Sena that has insulted the mandate, not the BJP. Those who set up camp for MLAs instead of breaking the pre-poll alliance. It is the BJP that is being blamed. Shedding their ideologies, three parties are forming the government.”

“Except for one ideology, except the pre-election alliance when these three parties were happening together … Everyone was clapping. I don’t want to name a journalist, but the journalist said -” Inhone to Bharat ke andar kranti kr di.” And next day when Ajit Dada supported us — kaise ye kar sakti hai BJP — to unki kranti ki hawa nikal gayee,” said the BJP president.
“All I want to ask is, who broke the mandate? We did not. We neither camped our MLAs nor held them hostage in hotels. The people who built the camps did nothing wrong? Who made up the government?” Broke the alliance? Wrong! We are on the receiving end. The mandate is with us. We are not forming the government … It is our fault, “he said while sarcastically.
“So, leaving behind ideologies and principles just to keep the BJP out of power anyway, and forming the government and then presenting it as the failure of the BJP … I think the people of the country don’t get swayed by such propaganda. The people know what has happened and we have good communication with the people of the country,” said he.
Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray is set to be sworn in as Chief Minister of Maharashtra on November 28. On Tuesday, Thackeray was unanimously elected as the leader of the three-party Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP — alliance.
