Maharashtra Lok Sabha Elections: Uddhav Thackeray Warns PM Modi & BJP Not To Use Balasaheb Thackeray's Name In Elections

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray lashed out at the BJP and its allies at a rally in Kankavli on Friday. He challenged BJP candidate Narayan Rane to stop him in his stronghold. I have come here. If you come across to stop us, we will bury you. I defeated you twice in the election here in Sindhudurg and third time outside my house in Bandra, still you are challenging me, he said.

Soon after announcement of his candidature, Rane had threatened Thackeray not to use any bad words against DCM Devendra Fadanvis, otherwise they will show him the proper way to go outside Sindhudurg.

Reacting to this, Uddhav said, Instead of challenging me to speak this and that, Shah should speak on what development he did in the country in the last ten years. You have Rane with you but can't you develop Konkan?
