The Betrayal

My full sympathies lie with Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray. Except for his last minute renaming spree. Aurangabad should be Aurangabad, Allahabad should be Allahabad and Ahmedabad should be Ahmedabad. Mumbai should be Bombay. But that he is a leader is beyond doubt. Only a leader can walk out of the clutches of the BJP and join an alliance of parties who are very different from his own. Having fought jointly with the BJP with the understanding that there would be a Sena Chief Minister this time, the BJP went back on its word. So walking out was dignified. And he does have a spine like his father the late Bal Thackeray. Also he is better than Nitish Kumar who switched sides by midnight and remains glued to the chair, weak, old and faded Prime Ministerial material. And he is so weak that a Dharmendar Pradhan can convince him to vote for Draupadi Murmu, instead of fellow Bihari Yashwant Sinha in the Presidential polls. And Eknath Shinde has stabbed his leader in the back, much like Brutus. But Shinde is less than Brutus, his only calculation is winning the next assembly election. And retaining the Hindutva vote bank. Shinde washed the feet of Anand Dighe ,while Dighe washed the feet of Bal Thackeray, but now Shinde wants Uddhav Thackeray to wash the feet of BJP leaders for a hundred years. Also BJP hand looks uglier than the Congress during Emergency, the way they jail even ministers and it's like khullam khulla loktantra ka balatkaar. In Maharashtra the BJP want even opposition parties to vote for their Presidential candidate. In all this two men stood up to them, Uddhav and the NCP leader Nawab Mallik. About Nawab Malliks underworld connections to be continued....
