Quotes from Uddhav Thackeray

If you are going to misuse power then one must remember that power does not remain forever.

The CAA is not a law to remove someone from the country. Union home minister Amit Shah has said that it is to give citizenship. And I agree with it to that extent. It is to give citizenship to persecuted minorities from neighbouring countries and not to remove anyone from the country.

The BJP broke its alliance with us as they were hungry for power. They wanted to rule the state like they are ruling the country, after getting a majority in Lok Sabha elections. They thought they can divide Maharashtra if they are in power with a majority here. But the Sena will never let that happen.

I had a soft corner about 'the' original BJP of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani's... It also had leaders like Pramod Mahajan, Gopinath Munde. The leaders had some ideology and thoughts.
