Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray alleges BJP plans to ban RSS after winning a third term.

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray claimed that BJP plans to ban its ideological parent, RSS, after winning a third term in power. Thackeray's statement came as BJP national president JP Nadda said that the party has become "Saksham" (capable) from the time it needed the RSS, and the BJP runs its own affairs now, with the RSS being an "ideological" front.
