Uddhav Thackeray Wonders Why BJP Refused Sena The Top Post In 2019

Uddhav Thackeray asked the BJP not to betray Mumbai like it "betrayed"him.

Mumbai:

Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Friday questioned BJP's decision to install a "so-called Shiv Sainik" as Maharashtra chief minister when it did not keep its 2019 promise of rotating the Chief Minister's post.

Addressing a press conference at Shiv Sena Bhavan, Mr Thackeray also asked the BJP not to betray Mumbai like it "betrayed" him.

He said he was saddened by the new Maharashtra government's move to relocate metro car shed to Aarey Colony from Kanjurmarg in Mumbai.

"Let the metro car shed project be at Kanjurmarg and not in Aarey. Kanjurmarg is not a private plot. I am with the environmentalists and had declared Aarey as reserved forest. Wildlife exists in that forest," he said.

Mr Thackeray described the rebellion in his party as a mockery of democracy and waste of people's vote
