Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray alleged that Home Minister Amit Shah has instructed BJP leaders in a closed-door meeting to "finish off me and Sharad Pawar" politically. Uddhav said, "Only people can finish [me and Pawar], not Amit Shah." He added, "If someone from Delhi tells me to sit at home, my people will make them sit at home."
