Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday asked whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be visiting Manipur after Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat decried the ongoing violence in the northeastern state. In a press conference in Mumbai, the former Maharashtra Chief Minister also sought to know what difference the abrogation of Article 370 made in Jammu and Kashmir and questioned PM Modi over the loss of lives in the union territory in the wake of the Reasi terror attack, reported PTI. 


Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, said, "Lives are being lost. Who is responsible for the terror attacks in Jammu and Kashmir?"


RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat, on Monday, had expressed concern over peace eluding Manipur a year on since the violence first broke out in the northeastern state and urged that the situation in the violence-hit state must be prioritised, the report stated. 


Speaking to reporters, per the PTI report, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray said, "Will Prime Minister Modi visit Manipur after RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's remarks? I am concerned about the future of the country and not about the future of the NDA government."

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray also refuted claims of differences in the opposition alliance Maha Vikas Aghadi over candidates for the upcoming state legislative council polls. Shiv Sena (UBT), Nationalist Congress Party (SP) and Congress are part of the MVA.

"There is no difference," Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray asserted.

Reportedly, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray admitted that there was a "loose connection" in the discussion between the MVA partners and stated that he was not present after the Lok Sabha Elections 2024.

During this time, all parties declared their candidates, and nominations had to be submitted within the specified time frame, he said. The deadline for filing nominations was June 7. Voting will take place on June 26 and results will be announced on July 1, reported PTI.
