Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 31 (ANI): Shiv Sena UBT leader Anand Dubey on Tuesday launched an attack on the Samajwadi Party (SP) after its Maharashtra unit decided to contest the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election and termed the state SP leaders as the 'B' team of the BJP.
Speaking to ANI, Dubey said that his party's seniors will meet SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav and convey the 'bad policies' of SP in Maharashtra.
He further stated that SP has no identity without Maha Vikas Aghadi in the state.
"It has been exposed that the Maharashtra Samajwadi Party is the 'B' team of the BJP, especially Abu Azmi and Rais Sheikh. When our leaders meet Akhilesh ji in Delhi, we will certainly tell them about the bad policies of the Samajwadi Party in Maharashtra. We had included the Samajwadi Party in the Maha Vikas Aghadi with love, but we didn't know that they could stab us in the back... In Maharashtra, the Samajwadi Party has no identity without Maha Vikas Aghadi," Shiv Sena UBT leader said.
Earlier SP Maharastra leader and MLA from Mankhurd Shivaji Nagar Abu Azmi said, "The SP will contest the BMC polls as an individual party. We will contest at least 150 seats. There is no coordination in the MVA anymore. We have said before as well that we will not stand together with anyone who does not believe in secular ideology."
When asked about the violence that broke out in Parbani and Beed, the Shiv Sena UBT spokesperson said, "The murder of Santosh Deshmukh has rattled the entire state. All facts in this case are before the people. The goon named Valmik Karad is being called a close aide of Dhananjay Munde. The CM and the deputy CMs are also helping in this by saving Walmik Karad. Maharashtra's Sarpanch association has called a bandh today..."
He further demanded the court take cognisance of the matter.
"Maharashtra is waiting for justice for Santosh Deshmukh. Mahayuti govt is unsuccessful. We will demand that the court, the governor, and the president take cognisance of the matter," he added. (ANI)
