People Won't Tolerate Self-Centred Politics: Uddhav Thackeray's Dig At Congress

Uddhav Thackeray said that all the political parties should keep ambitions aside and focus on economy and health.

In a swipe at local Congress leaders, Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray said on Saturday that people would "beat with footwear" those who only talk about contesting elections alone without offering solutions to people's problems. All political parties should keep ambitions aside and focus on economy and health, he said, speaking on the occasion of the Shiv Sena's 55th foundation day. Without naming the ally Congress, Mr Thackeray said, "If we do not offer solutions to people's problems but only talked about going it alone in politics, people will beat us with footwear. They will not listen to our party-centric, ambitious talk of contesting elections alone." Recently Mumbai Congress chief Bhai Jagtap had said he was ready to contest the next year's Mumbai civic polls without joining hands with the Sena.
