Shiv Sena, BJP bicker over poster ‘impotency’

Mumbai: The Shiv Sena and BJP trolled each other over impotency, when a poster against the chief minister came up outside the BMC under the banner Mee Mumbaikar, Mumbai BJP chief Ashish Shelar called the one who put it as impotent. Today another poster came up in Thane, where the BJP is holding its state executive meet, under the sign of Mee Thanekar asking BJP to go solo. The Sena has started trolling BJP, asking whether they will refer the people behind these posters as impotent too.

On Thursday outside the venue of BJP’s state executive meeting which was being held at Thane, a poster signed by Mee Thanekar asking the BJP to go solo in thane cropped up. The poster asked BJP to go solo in the Thane Municipal Elections and grab power.

Earlier this month, outside the BMC headquarters a poster, signed by an unknown group called Mee Mumbaikar, was intended as a taunt to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis. The chief minister had apparently said, “A person from Nagpur will change Mumbai.” But the poster, in context to this, read: “A man from Nagpur man should instead keep Nagpur with Maharashtra. Only someone from Mumbai is capable of keeping Maharashtra united, along with Nagpur.”

This had upset the BJP, which claimed that it is the Sena that has put up the poster. The Sena, though, claims it isn’t their work, but that of ‘enlightened citizens’.

Mr Shelar had then referred to it as a work of an impotent person. However, after the new posters supporting the BJP came up in Thane, the Sena now took to Twitter and started asking whether Mr Shelar will now call the fellow behind the new posters as impotent too since the unidentified person is favouring BJP?

Niranjan Shetty, spokesperson for BJP Mumbai said, “Supporters and party workers always have their views and going solo is just a view of some party workers however, decision on alliance will be the call of CM and Uddhavji and will be followed by everyone in the party.”
