BJP enjoying “unbridled power”
Earlier, Uddhav Thackeray alleged that despite the BJP government at the Center and many states, there is chaos in the country and an attitude of indifference towards public issues. He said that along with many Hindus, undivided Shiv Sena also took part in the Ram Mandir movement.

He alleged that BJP took political advantage of these incidents and was now enjoying “unbridled power”.
