Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray said that the Maharashtra unit of Samajwadi Party (SP) behaves sometimes like the "B team of BJP (Bharatiya Janata Party)." The development comes after SP pulled out of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance on Thursday, citing several concerns.  

"I would not like to comment much on them [SP's Maharashtra unit]. (Party's national chief) Akhilesh Yadav is fighting his fight but the SP here [in Maharashtra] sometimes behaves like the B team of BJP...Our Hindutva is clear...Our Hindutva is about 'Hriday mein Ram aur haath ko kaam'...Our Hindutva is about taking everyone together..." Thackeray said while addressing reporters, according to news agency ANI.
