On the occasion of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray’s birth anniversary, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday said that he has never shed his “saffron” colour. 

While addressing the gathering at MMRDA ground in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), CM Thackeray stated that although he found new allies but he had never changed his “saffron” colour. 

I have chosen a new political path by allying with old political rivals. Our colour is saffron, our ‘antarang’ (inner colour) is saffron and it will continue to remain so. I have not to change it,” Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray. 

CM Thackeray said this to counter the criticism of its former ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) that his party had abandoned Hindutva to gain power. 

On the same day, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray unveiled its party agenda and changed the party’s flag from a mix of saffron, blue and green to full saffron. 

I don’t change the colour of my party to form the government,” CM Thackeray said while taking a dig at his cousin Raj Thackeray. 

Attacking BJP, Uddhav Thackeray said that they broke promises made before the poll and tried to label him as a liar.
