A group of Hindutva organisations on Wednesday warned of launching a campaign against Shiv Sena and BJP if any of the two parties join hands with Congress and NCP to form a Government in Maharashtra.
Samasta Hindu Aghadi president Milind Ekbote said the BJP and Sena, which have together won 161 seats in the 288-member House, should form a Government in the State as soon as possible as fighting between themselves was an “insult” of the people’s mandate. He said the Hindutva outfits were coming together as a “united front” to oppose Sena or BJP’s attempts to tie up with the ideologically different parties. “We have been working for Hindutva for decades. We were expecting that some of our demands would be fulfilled since the BJP and Shiv Sena came to power...We are also concerned about farmers.
“But these two parties are fighting with each other. It is an insult of people’s mandate. Therefore, we are appealing to both of them to form a Government in Maharashtra as soon as possible,” he said.
