Foe turns follower? Uddav Thackeray to attend PM Modi’s public function on Thursday
Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray, Whose Party Had Boycotted A Function Involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi Last Year, Will Attend The Public Function In Mumbai On December 24 To Be Addressed By Modi.
Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray, whose party had boycotted a function involving Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year, will attend the public function in Mumbai on December 24 to be addressed by Modi.
The Prime Minister, after laying the foundation stone for two Metro rail projects, elevated rail corridors project, the Mumbai Trans Harbour link and the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj memorial off Arabian Sea, will address a public function in suburban Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC). "There will be only one function to lay the foundation stone for these projects and Uddhav Thackeray will attend the proceedings at the MMRDA ground s in BKC," said a close aide of the Sena chief.
On October 11 last year, Modi had laid the foundation stone of a grand memorial to Babasaheb Ambedkar at the Indu Mills compound in the heart of Mumbai, a function which was boycotted by Shiv Sena whose chief Uddhav Thackeray was not invited.
Sena is a part of the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre as well as the BJP-led Maharashtra government. Meanwhile, NCP president Sharad Pawar is in Delhi and will attend the birthday celebrations of Ajit Singh, former union minister and Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) chief on Thursday.
"Pawar saheb will attend the function to lay the foundation stone of Pune Metro in Pune if invited. His office in Mumbai has not received an invite," one of the aide of the Maratha strongman said.
