The Story in Brief
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of ignoring the youth while finding time to meet six MPs who recently defected from his party. Thackeray said Modi had no time for Parliament or for students protesting the NEET paper leak at Jantar Mantar.
Thackeray questioned whether Modi’s breakfast meeting with the defected MPs was a signal to the Supreme Court, which is hearing his party’s plea over the ‘real Shiv Sena’ tag. He also criticised RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat for interacting with young people without first demanding Home Minister Amit Shah’s resignation. BJP spokesperson Navnath Ban said Uddhav does not meet party workers and Modi meets all MPs.
The Indian Opinion
Uddhav Thackeray’s charge that Modi’s meeting with defectors is a signal to the court plays to his base, but the BJP is equally dismissive of his grievances. Both sides are trading accusations while the real issue, the legitimacy of the Shinde faction, awaits a judicial verdict. The test will be whether the Supreme Court delivers a clear ruling that ends the uncertainty, or if political manoeuvres continue to cloud the outcome.
