Mumbai, September 16: The Bal Thackeray-led Shiv Sena on Sunday took to the streets to protest the fuel price hike and FDI in retail sector by the Centre and asked the Trinamool Congress and NCP to withdraw support to the UPA government.
Addressing a rally at the famous Siddhivinayak temple in central Mumbai in the presence of hundreds of partymen, Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray asked Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee to stop just threatening the UPA government and withdraw its support.

"Mamata Banerjee should simply stop threatening the UPA government and withdraw the support," Uddhav said.

He also asked Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief and Union agriculture minister Sharad Pawar, and Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav to withdraw support from the UPA government.

"Till when we will tolerate the heat of fuel price rise?" he asked.

Uddhav also exuded confidence that the Congress-led government will now be dethroned by the people.

A bicycle morcha was taken out by Thackeray's grandson Aditya from the Shivaji Park to the Siddhivinayak temple to protest the fuel price hike.

Shinde articulated UPA's attitude: Sena

Commenting on Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde's statement that coal block allocation scam would be soon forgotten, Shiv Sena said he articulated "attitude" of the UPA government.

"Shinde has spoken out the attitude of the UPA government," Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray said here.

At a function in Pune yesterday, Shinde had said, in a lighter vein, that "earlier the Bofors was a talking point. People forgot about it. Now it is coal. This too will be forgotten."

Reacting to Shinde's remarks, Sena MP Sanjay Raut said, "One can be oblivious if hands are blackened, but how can one be oblivious if his face is blackened ?"

Shinde's statement was disgraceful, Raut added.
