Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray said on Thursday his father Bal Thackeray was disenfranchised for seeking votes in the name of religion, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi is using the slogan Jai Bajrang bali to seek votes. in Karnataka.
It may be that the provisions of the electoral law have now changed, Uddhav told reporters here.
Modi on Wednesday urged the people of Karnataka to say ‘Jai Bajrang bali’ when casting their vote to “punish” Congress, as BJP leaders stepped up attacks on the opposition party over its election promise to ban Bajrang Dal.
Bal Thackeray was banned from exercising his right to vote in the late 1990s for six years after he was found to have engaged in “corrupt practices by seeking votes in the name of religion” at a public rally.
If Modi says Jai Bajrang bali then I also call on Marathi speaking people in Karnataka to chant Jai Bhavani Jai Shivaji and vote, said Uddhav.
