Uddhav Tkacheray's outfit cannot be called a "Hindutva" party as they joined hands with the Congress which insults Savarkar and they cannot even refer to Balasaheb as "Hindu Hriday Samrat" anymore, he said.
In an all-out attack on his former party chief-turned-rival, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde today accused Uddhav Thackeray of doing "dogli rajneeti" (double-faced politics) and alleged that his predecessor was plotting an attack on his house while pretending to be making a peace offer for his return to the Shiv Sena after they split nearly two years ago.
Mr Shinde, who now heads the "real" Shiv Sena, also said Uddhav Thackeray was totally opposite to the party founder Balasaheb Thackeray and was only interested in furthering his self-interest, unlike his father who always stood by his party's workers and never went back on his words.
In an exclusive interview with Press Trust of India at his residence, Mr Shinde said that "Uddhav Thackeray abandoned Balasaheb's ideology for the greed of the chief minister's chair when he broke ties with the BJP to join hands with the Congress".
