Sena rebuffs Amit Shah's rapprochement bid Mumbai

Rebuffing BJP president Amit Shah's rapprochement efforts, the Shiv Sena today said 'the Modi floods' may have swept away snakes and mongooses, but "the tiger cannot be tamed."
The bickering ally, which has declared its intention of going alone in the next polls, made strong comments against the BJP, saying the party was "still living in the golden era of 2014" while "the picture of 2019 will be completely different."
Apparently referring to Shah's analogy of animals while attacking the opposition parties getting together against the BJP, the editorial said, "In the 2014 Modi floods, snakes, mongooses, dogs and cats were washed away. Similarly, on the BJP Foundation Day in 2018, the nationalist thoughts too were washed away."

"...it was so because the party is in power both at the Centre and in Maharashtra. The Congress rallies earlier also used to be equally grand."
On Maharashtra Congress party chief Ashok Chavan's allegations that Rs 50 crore was spent on one rally of Shah in Mumbai on that day, the Sena said, "If Chavan's allegations are correct, it does not look good to spend so much amount on a single rally."
