Breaking alliance insult to Marathi martyrs: Shiv Sena

September 26, 2014 10:21

Launching a scathing attack on its former ally, Shiv Sena today dubbed those who broke the25-year-old alliance as "enemies of Maharashtra."

"Our other (Mahayuti) alliance parties wanted the Sena-BJP combine to continue. More than that, it was what the11 crore people of Maharashtra wanted. Those who trampled these sentiments are enemies of Maharashtra," Sena said.

"This (breaking of alliance) is an insult to the 105 Marathi martyrs of the Samyukta Maharashtra movement," an editorial in Sena mouthpiece Saamana said. "It is unfortunate that the Sena-BJP alliance which for the last 25 years was bound by the Hindutva ideology has ended," the Sena said.
