New Delhi: In a scathing criticism of the BJP and senior party leader LK Advani, Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray said on Tuesday that the party seemed to be in utter confusion and disarray.
"What is wrong with the BJP? Are they ill? Have internal internal fissures made the party frustrated? As usual it is their internal matter... but I cannot say, 'forget it'," he said.
He continued, "It is so because the question is not just of the BJP, but of the NDA's future and of unseating the Congress-led UPA. In this context, LK Advani's blog has put the BJP in confusion. Advani has announced that neither the BJP nor the Congress will have its PM candidate. The party readers would be demoralised. A lot of leaders now seem to use the blog to carry out their politics. We believe in battling it out on the field."
He added, "There is widespread frustration with the rule of the Congress and we believe that this will lead to its defeat in 2014."
