Shiv Sena leader Aditya Thackeray has hit it where it could hurt the current UP Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath that ‘religious strife has only increased’ in his leadership.
Mr. Thackeray was addressing the introduction of Shiv Sena candidate Shailedra alias Raju Shrivastav as an “agent of change” in Siddharthnagar district for the Dumariyagang assembly seat. He was also scheduled to address a public meeting in Koraon assembly seat in Prayagraj district, where the party has fielded Arti Kol.
Mr. Thackeray went onto prove the sanctity of religious unity in a secular country like India and that the treatment of farmers was also deplorable by the saffron party. He termed them as ‘Maoists, extremists and terrorists.’
As of now, Shiv Sena had fielded almost 60 candidates in the Uttar Pradesh elections. From Maharashtra, their reign is moving into other parts of India. However, 41 are in fray as the Election Commission had rejected the candidature of 19.
