Shiv Sena also said that those who don't want a Congress-led United Progressive Alliance should make their stand clear publicly, instead of creating confusion by talking behind back.
In a snub to Trinamool Congress (TMC) chief Mamata Banerjee, whose party is currently engaged in a tussle with the Congress, the Shiv Sena on Saturday said keeping the grand old party away from national politics and creating an opposition alliance parallel to the UPA without it is akin to strengthening the ruling BJP and the "fascist" forces.
In an editorial in party mouthpiece ''Saamana'', the Sena also said that those who don't want a Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) should make their stand clear publicly, instead of creating confusion by talking behind back.
It said that if even those people who are fighting the BJP feel that the Congress should cease to exist, then this attitude is the "biggest threat", and added that if there is no unity among the opposition parties, then the talk of creating a political alternative to the BJP should stop.
The Sena's remarks come in the wake of Mamata Banerjee's recent visit to Mumbai, in which she made a cryptic statement that ''there is no UPA now''. On Friday, TMC mouthpiece ''Jago Bangla'' had launched a fresh attack on the grand old party, stating that it has gone into a "deep freezer".
