Shiv Sangram chief Vinayak Mete likely to have an alliance with Shiv Sena
- by Webdesk
- 09 Jan 2017
Maratha Leader and BJP backed legislator visited Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray at Matoshree, sending out a possible hint of a pre poll alliance for the upcoming civic body elections.
Mete, founder chairman of pro-Maratha Shivsangram Sanghatna from Beed district, had supported the BJP against Sena in 2014 Assembly elections.
When contacted, he told PTI that nothing should be read into his visit.
“My visit to Uddhav Thackeray at ‘Matoshree’ (Thackeray’s residence in suburban Bandra) was to apprise him about various issues related to Maratha community seeking reservation in jobs. I also gave more details to him about the proposed Shivaji Maharaj memorial, which is going to be largest one in the world,” Mete said.
Mete who also is the chairman of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Memorial Committee had expressed his displeasure over BJP which had taken the entire credit of the foundation stone laying ceremony of the Maratha warrior. Since Shiv Sangram is the alliance partner of the BJP, Mete is unhappy that his party has been sidelined by it senior partner.
Mete who had worked hard on planning the Shivaji bhoomi pujan ceremony had left early before the function ended as he was unhappy with BJP leaders hogging the limelight. He had also said that BJP should not be taking political mileage out of the memorial issue.
On the other hand, Shiv Sena too is not pleased with BJP for hijacking its agenda of constructing Shivaji memorial. The party had erected banners at Dadar mentioning that it was late Balasaheb Thackeray’s wish to construct memorial of Shivaji. Of late relationship between Sena and BJP too had strained as both the parties are trying to upstage each other in the election.
