Bal Thackeray-Indira Gandhi Posters In Mumbai As Sena, Congress Ally | Read
On a day Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray is to be sworn in as Maharashtra Chief Minister, posters featuring his father and party founder Bal Thackeray with former prime minister Indira Gandhi have been put up in Mumbai. "Balasaheb Thackeray's dream fulfilled, Chief Minister from Shiv Sena," reads a poster put up near Shiv Sena Bhawan featuring a throwback photo of the Shiv Sena founder with Indira Gandhi, a Congress icon. The posters served to highlight a rarely seen connect between the Sena and the Congress, which took weeks to get over its reservations about joining hands with an ideologically vastly different party.
