BJP is slow-poisoning us: Sena leader as he hints at merger with Uddhav's faction

Abdul Sattar, Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena's leader, accused ally BJP of trying to weaken his party ahead of the Legislative Council polls, describing its strategy as "slow poisoning". His remarks came after BJP fielded its own candidate from Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, sidelining Sattar's son Sameer Sattar, who was seeking nomination. Sattar also hinted at returning to Uddhav Thackeray's faction.
