'Excessive lust leads to divorce', says Sena chief

Mumbai, Sep 13 (IBNS): Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said, in an editorial of the party’s mouthpiece Saamna, that excessive lust leads to divorce and the allies in a coalition must dream of a victory first, reports said.

The statement came from the Sena supremo especially in the wake of a seat-sharing agreement with its long-time ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the October 15 Maharashtra polls.

“All parties must give up the lust for more seats. To say we will stay in the coalition only if we get so many seats is not right,” he said.

In the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, the BJP won 23 of the state’s 48 seats while the Sena won 18. The ruling Congress-NCP alliance won only six seats.

“Remember, excessive lust leads to divorce. We all want a change of regime. Even if someone has got fewer seats to contest, then too, they will get a proper share in government. But for that, one needs to come to power first,” Thackeray said in the party mouthpiece.
