Giriraj Singh taunts Sena, posts Balasaheb-BJP veterans' old picture

As the Shiv Sena was mulling over government formation in Maharashtra with ideologically different Congress and NCP, Union Minister and BJP leader Giriraj Singh has said that some elements in the state are insulting the teachings of Bal Thackeray. Posting an old picture of Balasaheb along with former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and BJP veteran LK Advani, the Begusarai MP said that it was Bal Thackeray's hard work that gave direction to Maharashtra. He then added that Sena trying to seal a deal with 'Hindutva opposers' is a betrayal for Shiv Sainiks. This is the second time the Sena and the BJP parted company in their 35-year- association.

The Mahagadhi made a comeback bagging 98 seats - (NCP 54 seats and Congress 44 seats.) Arvind Sawant resigns from Modi cabinet: 'Immoral for me to continue'
