Uddhav advises Modi to stick to Hindutava

Mumbai: Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday praised Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in his column in party mouthpiece Saamna. Thackeray, who had earlier backed Modi as BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, was quick to advise the Gujarat Chief Minister about “sticking to the Hinduatava agenda”. 
Thackeray said in his piece that his party had supported Modi’s candidature with full heart so that he can pump new energy in the Hindus of the country.
He said that Balasaheb was a real “Hridayhindusamarat” and he had no interest to holding a prime position. He added that Balasaheb was of view that a Hindu leader should run the country.
Thackeray said that Modi is spearheading BJP’s campaign for the 2014 Lok Sabha elections as ‘Senapati’ and everyone should back him.
Thackeray said that his party sincerely hoped that the Gujarat Chief Minister will never compromise on the Hinduatava agenda.
It must be noted that Thackeray spoke to Narendra Modi a day before his anointment as BJP’s PM candidate. While Shiv Sena’s backing made Modi’s life easier, it cornered BJP patriarch L.K. Advani.
