Mumbai: Responding to BJP president Amit Shah's remark that they will 'thrash' their former allies if a pre-poll alliance does not emerge, Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam has retorted by issuing a threat to 'bury' the BJP.

Reasserting that the Sena won 63 seats out of 288 during the state Assembly polls in Maharashtra, despite the Modi wave, he said, "They (BJP) have already lost elections miserably in five states. Don't come to Maharashtra and threaten us or we will bury you. Don't forget that we won 63 seats despite the (Modi) wave."

Amit Shah, on Sunday, had said that if an alliance happened before the Lok Sabha elections in 2019, then the BJP will ensure victory for its allies. But if it did not happen, then the party will thrash its former allies on its path to victory.

He further responded to the central government's decision to provide 10 per cent reservation to the economically weaker sections. Stating that there is already a quota for the Marathas, Dhangars and Muslim, he asked, "Then how will they give further reservation to everybody? Are these decisions being taken in view of the elections?" reports News 18.

The Union Cabinet had cleared the 10% reservation bill on Monday, after which Lok Sabha also cleared it on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, the Opposition including the Congress has dubbed the move by Modi government as a 'political gimmick' ahead of the General Elections.
