The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) criticised the Shiv Sena over the 6-point resolution passed in the national executive meeting of the party on June 25, which sought to bar the usage of Balasaheb Thackeray's name by any personal entity.
Following the Shiv Sena's national executive meeting, party spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP, Sanjay Raut, convened a press meeting, where he said, "CM Uddhav Thackeray has said that the leaders who have left Shiv Sena should not ask for votes in the name of Shiv Sena and Balasaheb Thackeray. Ask for votes in the name of your father."
Reacting to it, MNS spokesperson Sandeep Deshpande said, "Balasaheb belonged to the whole of India when the matter of establishing his statue was being considered at the Mayor's Bungalow. Now, how can you say he belongs only to you?. Balasaheb Thackeray is an ideology, which neither a person nor a party can consider as his personal property."
