The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shiv Sena came down heavily on Uddhav Thackeray, who was seen sitting next to Mehbooba Mufti, the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister, at the opposition parties meeting in Patna on Friday. Thackeray had hit the BJP hard for sharing power with Mufti whenever his Hindutva was questioned.

It was the BJP’s turn on Friday to question Thackeray’s compromise for power. The Shinde Sena joined the chorus, calling Uddhav’s act as an insult to the late Balasaheb Thackeray’s ideology and his support to abrogating article 370 from J&K.
