A stern and unexpected ‘advice’ to Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray published in an RSS-inspired daily paper Tarun Bharat , dared him to quit the Maharashtra government on Saturday.

If you harbour so much hatred (for BJP), then kick the trappings of power and move aside. Quit ministerships and red-beacon cars, go and work independently for the people.

Tarun Bharat is the same company which got into trouble on Friday for being provided funding by the Bharatiya Janta Party (BJP).

In the editorial, the paper criticised Thackeray for his comments in his marathon three-part annual interview to the party’s mouthpiece, Saamana, ahead of his birthday on 27 July.

What is this regular crying and cribbing over everything? The BJP is weak, the NCP is shameless, Congress is useless. Such abusive language does not suit you.

Challenging Thackeray’s refrain that “it was the BJP which wanted us (Shiv Sena) to join the Maharashtra government,” the edit pointed out that on the contrary it was the Sena which was feeling left out of power, both at the Centre and in Maharashtra.

Who created all the drama during the assembly seat-share talks, running from pillar-to-post for joining the state cabinet, talking (‘ulat-sulat’) nonsense till Sena ministers were sworn-in, sitting in the Opposition for two months after Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ swearing-in, and discarding the opposition to grab power?

It said that people realised how miserable the Sena legislators felt sitting in the opposition until New Delhi urged the state to include them in the cabinet.

The editorial further blames the “squabbling” over seat-sharing for the lack of a strong alliance government in Maharashtra. Despite the lack of a strong alliance, the editorial reads, the Fadnavis government survived the vote of confidence in the assembly.

When you keep insulting and degrading the BJP at every opportunity, how do you expect it to call the Shiv Sena a ‘friend’? You want to join the government, criticize your own CM, set rules and then break them irresponsibly. What is this ‘tamasha’ (drama)?

It recalled how the Sena had dubbed Prime Minister Narendra Modi as ‘Afzal Khan’ during the assembly campaign.

The editorial pointed out Sena’s comments saying “even Modi’s father” could not have won the Lok Sabha elections decisively without its support.
