“This topic of whip is now over. I’m not interested in what you are writing. We have cleared our stand in the newspaper ‘Saamna’. Where whip was typed, is completely our internal matter. I don’t think it is appropriate to discuss this with you”.
It has now been revealed that BJP’s alliance party Shivsena’s whip was typed in BJP’s parliamentary office earlier the last Friday when the non-confidence resolution was brought in Lok sabha against the Narendra Modi government.
LokSabha’s Group Leader Anandrao Adsul and senior MP Gajanan Kirtikar, got the whip typed in BJP’s office following the instructions from senior BJP leader and one Union minister, this shocking information has been given by a Shivsena MP to ‘My Mahanagar’ on the condition of anonymity.
Following a discussion with the BJP leaders, two senior MPs of Shivesena forced the Chief Spokesperson of party MP Chandrakant Khaire to get the whip typed without keeping the party chief Uddhav Thackrey in any knowledge. This led Shivsena to revoke its decision of participating in the polls and it also created confusion among the MPs.
Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray immediately contacted all their 18 MPs at 4 pm to 5 pm on Thursday and conveyed them that the final decision on non-confidence resolution will be taken on Friday (July 20th) at 10 am, this created confusion among many MPs of the party.
Before Shivsena decided their stand on non-confidence motion, Lok Sabha group leader, Anandrao Adsul and Gajanan Kirtikar got the whip typed at BJP’s party office stating all the Sena MPs to remain present in Delhi. When a senior Shiv Sena MP enquired about this incident to this two MPs, they given an excuse of non-availability of a Hindi typewriter in their office. This Shivsena MP was also taken to surprise that the Shivsena leaders who have always been so up-to-date on Twitter, the Youth leader Aditya Thakre and techno savvy Anil Desai, couldn’t know how this thing should happened.
Earlier many MPs of Shivsena has raised this concern of not having a Hindi typist in their Delhi’s party office. However, it is now been said that this incident has put Shivsena in shame as till date the party had conveniently neglected appointing any Hindi Typist in Delhi office.
Meanwhile, the whip stated that MPs to remain present at the time of non-confidence resolution and stand in favour of the BJP government, but when Shivsena announced its decision to stand neutral, the whip letter that was typed in BJP’s office computer, was easily posted on social media via BJP’s IT cell and through social media team.
When this newspaper contacted Chandrakant Khaire, he clearly denied of typing any such whip from BJP’s office, also the chief spokesperson Aanandrao Adsul said someone has purposely trying to malign his image by spreading such false information. When we had contacted the Lok Sabha’s group leader Anandrao Adsul, he said, “This topic of whip is now over. I’m not interested in what you are writing. We have cleared our stand in the newspaper ‘Samna’. Where whip was typed, is completely our internal matter. I don’t think it is appropriate to discuss this with you”.
MP Anandrao Adsul is a group leader in LokSabha and he always be in the constant touch with party chief Uddhav Thackeray. But one of the union minister had conveyed this to Adsul that he had word with Uddhav Thackeray and Amit Shah. However looking at the current political scenario, Adsul & Kirtikar now must have got to know well that how much one can trust BJP leaders; a senior MP mischievously said. We are not friend to any single party, but friends of Indian citizens.
Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray strongly condemned the BJP supremo Amit Shah’s announcement on contesting elections on their own. Thackeray said, “We are not the supporters of anyone but supporters of the Indian citizens. If at all we wished to to vote in favour of the government, why we would have raised voice against the government’s decisions since so many days? What is this game of ‘Confidence & non-confidence, who should trust whom? Should we have gone to opposition and voted against the government? What so good has the opposition been doing? Shivsena is a part of government in central and state too. But Shiv Sena is doing the task to curb the government”. Uddhav Thackeray further said that we are not friend to any single party but we are friends to the Indian people, so we will definitely oppose what is not in favour of the people. Stating this Uddhav Thackeray has put all the discussions to an end of why did Shiv Sena remain stayed neutral, why did they not participated in the discussion.
Uddhav Thackeray has strongly expressed the determination to defeat the BJP on their own. Shivsena is a friend of the Indian public, and not of any single party. Uddhav Thackeray reiterated that “we opposed the government’s role or policy for the benefit of the country and the people”.
