Sena chief criticises UPA for hob-nobbing with Shahi Imam and cobra-post sting to polarise communities during elections

Holding Congress led UPA government squarely responsible for farmers’ suicide in Vidarbha region and total failure of MIHAN project, Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray on Monday appealed voters to cast their votes for Shiv Sena, BJP and RPI (A) candidate Krupal Tumane who is contesting for second time from Ramtek. “Shiv Sena is committed to development of entire Vidarbha region and Sena will prove it, if the voters give us an opportunity,” Thackeray promised.
Addressing an impressive campaign rally for Tumane at Kanhan, Uddhav said, officially the MIHAN project was to complete before 2015. However, scenario is totally opposite. The project will not take off till 2030 if the Congress led government continues in Centre and state. Around seven lakh youths of Vidarbha region migrated to other parts of country and the reason is alarming unemployment in the region, he said.
Sena leader Subhash Desai, Dr Dipak Sawant, Former MP Prakash Jadhav, MLAs Adv Ashish Jaiswal, Chandrashekhar Bawankule, Vijay Ghodmare, Sudhir Parwe, Ashok Shinde, Sena leaders Radheshyam Hatewar, BJP District Chief Rajiv Potdar, Shekhar Sawarbandhe, RPI leader Digambar Kathale and others were present on the dais.

Lashing out at NCP supremo Sharad Pawar, the Sena president charged him with neglecting agriculture sector. Once, Narendra Modi become Prime Minister of India, we will waive entire debt of farmers. Replying to Pawar’s recent comment questioning Uddhav’s competence to run Sena, Uddhav asserted that he got leadership of the party from Balasaheb, who was the best leader of country. “I tried to uphold dignity of Balasaheb’s legacy of patriotism, Hindutva and saffron flag and till last breath never compromise with our core beliefs,” he added.
Cautioning voters not to be swayed by money power and other allurements offered by UPA, Uddhav alleged that Congress-NCP leaders pockets irrigation projects money meant to remove Vidarbha’s backlog and now same ill-gotten money is being freely used to purchase votes. This money can’t buy loyalty of fiercely loyal Shiv Sainiks who are ferocious tigers, he thundered while appealing voters to throw out UPA and DF in next election.
Launching attack against Cobrapost sting operation that purportedly unravelled the conspiracy behind the demolition of the Babri Masjid, Uddhav said the website discovered the information after 22 years only to influence a particular section to vote against NDA. He questioned the role of Intelligence agencies saying why the agencies had no information about the plan. “I will uncover mask of the Cobrapost,” he added. In another sharp attack, the Sena supremo raised questions over Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s meeting with Imam Bukhari and said “can I meet Shankaracharya and get his confidence for the election.”
Congress calls us communal if we appeal voters over Hindutva issues however, no one dares to call Congress communal after their meeting with Imam Bukhari, Uddhav said. Will Imam Bukhari decide fate of Indian elections and next Prime Minister, Thackeray angrily asked evoking thunderous applause.
He further said that Mukul Wasnik, who is heavyweight leader of Congress party, has done nothing for the constituency. He praised Sena candidate Tumane as true representative of common man and urged people to ensure his victory on April 10.
