Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray Thursday said there was no alternative to the unity of the Congress and regional Opposition parties at the national level, and blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for "breaking" his party.

Use-and-throw has been the BJP's policy and it has reduced the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde toa “doormat”, the former Maharashtra chief minister said in an interview to PTI Videos ahead of the all-important election to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) January 15.

His cousin, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray, and him will never part ways now that they have come together after several years, Uddhav said.

Responding to the question whether the INDIA bloc still exists, Uddhav said, “Probe a bit and check whether the INDIA bloc is there or not. It is true that we met only once after Parliamentary polls at Rahul ji's (Rahul Gandhi) residence.”
