After completing a year in the office of the tri-party alliance, Chief Minister and Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray has called the BJP 'people with distorted mentalities'. Denying the possibility of a saffron alliance in the future, he cautioned the frenemy against attacking his family.

Thackeray said that the BJP would not succeed in coming back to power because no Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) ally, especially the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), would take a position that might destabilise his government. Instead, the MVA will go even stronger in the years to come, he said, suggesting that the parties would fight all polls together to keep the BJP in the opposition.
