"Amit Shah is the political descendant of Ahmad Shah Abdali. Even he was a Shah. That was Ahmad Shah and he is Amit Shah. Will he give us the teachings of Hindutva? You ate the birthday cake of Nawaz Sharif and we should learn Hindutva from you?" Thackeray said while addressing party workers.

“Maha Vikas Aghadi is Aurangzeb fan club. This Aurangzeb fan club cannot ensure India's security. Uddhav Thackeray is the leader of this Aurangzeb Fan club. This Fan Club cannot make Maharashtra and India safe. It's only the BJP that can ensure the safety and security of all. Uddhav Thackeray shares his meals with people involved with Kasab, he supports PFI and stands against renaming Aurangabad as Sambhaji Nagar,” Shah had said.

Earlier on 31 July, the Former Maharashtra CM had attacked the Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and had said "either you will survive or I.” “We endured everything but stood firm and taught the BJP a lesson in the Lok Sabha elections," the Sena UBT chief was quoted as saying by news agency IANS.
