Mumbai, 26-May-2023, Friday
Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's party Shiv Sena (UBT) has hit out at the BJP government at the Center for not inaugurating the new Parliament House through President Draupadi Murmu. The party has alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi considers the new Parliament premises as his fiefdom, as he feels that he has built the new Parliament building.
Targeted at PM Modi by 'Saamna'
The Shiv Sena (UBT) in an editorial in its mouthpiece 'Saamna', besides accusing PM Modi of inaugurating the new Parliament House, has questioned whether veteran BJP leader LK Advani has been invited to the May 28 event.
PM Modi understands that this is his fiefdom: Uddhav's party
The mouthpiece Saamana further stated that the President is the head of the country and also the first citizen of India, so this post should not be insulted. The party has said in Samana that Modi's policy that the new parliament building was built by me and it is my fiefdom, that's why my name will be on the plaque, is dangerous for democracy.
Has Advani been invited: Shiv Sena (UBT)
It is said in the mouthpiece Samana that the new parliament building does not belong to any party but to the country and BJP leaders are talking about democracy which is a joke. It asks, has Advani, who made BJP see 'Achche Din', invited for the event?
Shinde-Fadnavis was mocked in Samana
The government has given a clear message that if you come to our private party, you will be insulted, the mouthpiece Samana wrote. Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis love going to such parties. See if there is room for Advani.
