Have enough ammunition against Shiv Sena, says BJP

MUMBAI: BJP today said it had "enough ammunition" and would expose Shiv Sena in the last week of campaign for the February 21 elections to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections.

Speaking to reporters, senior BJP leader and Maharashtra School Education Minister Vinod Tawde said in civic elections the party which builds up the campaign tempo in the last phase wins.

Asked about all-out attack launched by Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on BJP, his party's ruling ally in the state government, Tawde said, "Thackeray has already exhausted all his firepower against us in the very first phase of election campaign. I feel Sena will not have issues in their hand to attack us with during the last phase of campaigning."

BJP had opposed several illegal proposals which came before BMC's standing committee but Shiv Sena had them approved with support from Congress and Samajwadi Party corporators, the minister alleged.

BJP will expose these issues one by one every day and expose Sena in the last week of poll campaign, he said.

"We have enough ammunition with us against the Sena," Tawde said.
