Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam has made significant allegations against the Congress and NCP-SCP, asserting that they have conspired to undermine Shiv Sena (UBT) and oust its leader, Uddhav Thackeray, from political prominence.
In a recent statement, Nirupam accused the Congress and NCP-SCP of orchestrating Thackeray’s defeat in Sangli during the Lok Sabha elections, describing it as part of a broader strategy to weaken Shiv Sena (UBT). “One thing is clear that Congress and NCP-SCP have together thrown Uddhav Thackeray out of Sangli,” Nirupam declared. He emphasized that the events in Sangli were a visible manifestation of this alleged conspiracy.
Nirupam further warned of potential future repercussions for Thackeray, stating, “Today they have thrown out Uddhav Thackeray from Sangli, next, he will be thrown out of Maharashtra.” This comment reflects his concerns about Thackeray’s political future and the broader implications for Shiv Sena (UBT) within Maharashtra.
The Shiv Sena leader also addressed recent remarks by NCP chief Sharad Pawar, who indicated that the party’s chief ministerial candidate would only be announced after election results are declared. Nirupam interpreted this as a strategic move to ensure that the chief ministerial position goes to the party securing the most seats, rather than any predetermined candidate.
Nirupam’s statements underline ongoing tensions and political maneuvering in Maharashtra’s complex political landscape. The allegations of conspiracy and the focus on electoral strategies highlight the high stakes and intense competition among key political players in the state.
