Shiv Sena has welcomed RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat's call for a review of reservation policy while taking potshots at BJP for rushing to disown the views of the head of its ideological mentor, saying the party appears to be wary of an 'electoral jolt' in Bihar polls.

"Political parties who call themselves as saviours of the victimised class have vehemently opposed Bhagwat's comments. While attacking Bhagwat, they have their eye set on Bihar polls. Even the BJP called a hurried press meet and distanced itself away from his comments. It seems that the politics of Bihar must have been behind BJP's response to Bhagwat," Sena said in an editorial in its mouthpiece 'Saamana' on Wednesday
