Uddhav's 'Wagner group' threat to topple Modi govt

Mumbai: The Shiv Sena (UBT) on Monday claimed the "Wagner group" in India, a reference to opposition parties, will dislodge the Narendra Modi government through the ballot box by using the path of nonviolence.

In a dramatic development last week, Wagner mercenary group chief Yevgeny Prigozhin called for an armed rebellion and claimed his forces had military facilities in Russia's southern city of Rostov-on-Don under their control.

It also started its march to Moscow. An editorial in the Sena (UBT) mouthpiece 'Saamana' drew a parallel between Wagner group's "revolt against Russian President Putin" and the meeting of opposition parties last week.

Drawing the battle lines, over 32 leaders of more than a dozen opposition parties held a meeting in Patna hosted by Bihar CM Nitish Kumar on Friday. (PTI)
