Uddhav Thackeray claims BJP’s split after June 4
After the road show by PM Modi in Ghatkopar and Bhiwandi on Wednesday 15 May, Uddhav Thackeray makes a tall claim that BJP won’t win and that the party will split into two after June 4.
Thackeray further asked Modi over his plansi after June 5, therefore, his party will have no face at all to carry forward its activities.
The UBT Supremo and former CM Uddhav Thackeray Uddhav Thackeray further went on to say that PM Modi would no longer be the Prime Minister and that the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will split after the Lok Sabha election results are declared on June 4. Thackeray was speaking at a rally in Nashik to campaign for Rajabhau Waje.
Taking indirect jibe at PM Modi, Thackeray said, even as he has claimed that his party would merge with Congress, he (Uddhav) is much concerned about BJP. Regardless being with the BJP for 30 years, we did not merge with it. Voters of the country have decided he will be the former PM from June 5. So, what will happen to the party? It will split on June 5.”
He added that Modi asked the INDIA bloc how many faces it had when it had said that it would have a new PM every year. Thackeray further asked Modi about his succession plan after June 5, therefore, his party will have no face at all to carry forward its activities. The former Maharashtra CM also asked Modi to declare if he would remain active in politics after 75 years of age or not.
Uddhav Thackeray, however, is not the only one to question the Prime Minister on a succession plan after he reaches the age of 75. Delhi Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor Arvind Kejriwal also claimed that Modi will retire upon reaching the age of 75 in September 2025.
As per Delhi CM if BJP leaders’ claims are true, then PM Modi should himself say that the rule by which LK Advani retired does not apply to him. He further said that it is clear that PM Modi will retire but the BJP should then tell who his successor will be.
“All the leaders of his party said on Saturday that the 75-year rule will not be applicable to Modiji, but not a single leader said that Yogiji will not be removed. So one thing has been confirmed in the last 24 hours that within the next two months, Yogiji will be removed as the Uttar Pradesh chief minister,” Kejriwal said.
Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said in an interview with news agency that PM Modi will lead the country even after 2029 and will remain till 2029
Furthermore, Uddhav Thackeray also apologised for seeking votes in PM.Modi’s name amidst the 2014 ad the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.
He added that the BJP and PM Modi “backstabbed the people of Maharashtra” that elected more than 40 MPs by allegedly setting up industries in Gujarat and discriminating between the farmers in Maharashtra and Gujarat.
