Two days after senior Congress leader Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil’s son, Sujay Vikhe-Patil, joined the BJP, the Shiv Sena on Thursday said many other families, like Vikhe-Patil, might join the BJP, which will become the biggest political party on the foundation of Congress ideology.
“If the Hindutvavadis want to go ahead by taking unhappy leaders from Congress and NCP, then what should be done by them, who have taken the saffron flag in their hands for several years? We feel that BJP or Shiv Sena should not become a creche for Congress leaders,” said an editorial in Saamana, the Sena mouthpiece.
