Mumbai, July 26: Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, in his first interview after stepping down as the chief minister of Maharashtra, said that he was betrayed and that the coup was planned when he was admitted and could barely move.
"The rotten leaves should fall from the tree. The ones who got everything from the tree are leaving the tree itself," he said.
The Shiv Sena chief also said that some people are trying to break the unity amongst Hindus. "They want to finish Shiv Sena because they don’t want another partner in Hindutva. They want to separate the Thackerays from the Shiv Sena."
Also, MVA, Uddhav said, "If the MVA experiment was a mistake, people would have revolted against us. Ajit Pawar never snatched away my mic."
"The coup was planned when I was in the hospital and could barely move. When my body wasn’t moving, their movements were at the peak," said Thackeray.
Hitting out at CM Eknath Shinde, who was joined by over two-third of Shiv Sena MLAs in June, resulting in the Sena vs Sena battle, he said, "Even if I have made him the CM, his ambitions are devilish." Saying that it was his biggest mistake to trust them, he also asked the Shinde faction not to ask for votes in his father's name.
"The rotten leaves should fall from the tree. The ones who got everything from the tree are leaving the tree itself," he said.
He added, "Those who left are the ones who got the maximum, but we will make extraordinary leaders out of ordinary people now...these are the people who want to swallow their mother (the 'original' Shiv Sena), but a mother is a mother after all."
Also, MVA, Uddhav said, "If the MVA experiment was a mistake, people would have revolted against us. Ajit Pawar never snatched away my mic."
