“Bal Thackeray’s ideals were the inspiration to start the Kerala unit. I am quitting the organisation due to disagreement with the working style of Uddhav Thackeray,” he said in a statement.
“Shiv Sena should not have a politics without Hindutva. Uddhav’s style will weaken Hindutva,” he added. Bhuvanachandran said his association with Bal Thackeray began in 1987.
