Raj Thackeray says MNS supports Narendra Modi

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray continues his attacks on Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP and said the time has come for the country to throw them out in the election.

Raj Thackeray pitched strongly for BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and said that he is fit to be the country’s Prime Minister.

“In 2010, when the Gujarat chief minister was a nobody in the Indian political scene, I was the first person to declared openly that Modi was a fit candidate for PM.” Raj said.

“I advised Modi to develop a national image like Jawaharlal Nehru, Indira Gandhi or Atal Bihari Vajpayee, but that is misconstrued as his criticism,” Raj added.

Slamming Uddhav Thackeray for ruining the MNS-SS-BJP alliance in the state, Raj said that if Shiv Sena wanted MNS could have lent cooperation.

“In fact, BJP leaders Gopinath Munde and Nitin Gadkari sent several messages and even met me and sought my cooperation, but without giving any concrete ideas for an alliance for months,” he said.

“There was an editorial in Saamana which questioned my credentials (‘aukaat’). In this election, I will prove my ‘aukaat’, and all my MPs will support Modi,” he added.

Raj criticised Shiv Sena’s opposition to NCP’s inclusion in NDA.

“If so, then why did Shiv Sena go and beg NCP chief Sharad Pawar for a plot of land for constructing a memorial for Bal Thackeray?” Raj said.
