MUMBAI: The Shiv Sena-Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (SS-UBT) on Monday said those who voted for the BJP-Shinde alliance in Mumbai have effectively signed a "death warrant" for the city.

It suggests that the history of Maharashtra will remember the victors not as leaders, but as the state's "assassins".

The Thackeray camp, in the party mouthpiece, 'Saamana', argued that while the BJP-Shinde alliance won the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the victory remains slim with a lead of only four seats.
