Mumbai/Kolhapur: Political drama was played in Mumbai and Kolhapur on Sunday. Shivaji Park police detained four Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) workers for playing Hanuman Chalisa over a loudspeaker over a taxi outside Shiv Sena Bhavan in Dadar without permission, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and leader of the opposition Devendra Fadnavis Clashes broke out over the issue on the last day of campaigning ahead of the Kolhapur North constituency bypoll.
On MNS workers being detained in Mumbai, Fadnavis said, “Why do some people get angry when Hanuman Chalisa is played? If they have no problem with prayers of other religions on loudspeakers, why is it so? If Hanuman on loudspeaker Is there a problem if the chalisa is played? He accused Shiv Sena of quitting Hindutva and becoming ‘pseudo-secular’.
Responding to Fadnavis’s allegation that the Shiv Sena is going soft on Hindutva due to alliance constraints, Thackeray said the BJP, which has forged an alliance with PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti “for power”, has asked them to follow an ideology. should not be taught about. “We’ve left them [BJP]Not Hindutva. They don’t have a Hindutva patent,” Thackeray said during a virtual address to Shiv Sena workers in Kolhapur. “Their convenience is Hindutva; They use it when it suits them… and spread hatred.”
He said the BJP tried to create a fake Hindu Hriday Samrat at the national level, but people rejected him. “There can be only one Hindu Hriday Samrat and that is Balasaheb Thackeray,” the CM said. “It was Balasaheb who showed him [BJP] That saffron and Hindutva will take them on the road to Delhi… What about breaking the promise made to us by Amit Shah in Balasaheb’s room, which we consider to be a temple. Later refusing to share the CM’s post, Thackeray said his party has always been “saffron” (saffron) and committed to Hindutva, “unlike the BJP, which had different names like Bharatiya Jana Sangh and Jana Sangh”.
He said the MVA government is efficient, but it lacks the talent to “tell lies” like the opposition. “Your person [Kirit Somaiya] Took money and misused it in the name of INS Vikrant. You [BJP] It is said that you are the most patriotic, so why do you take the side of the man who took money and misused it? The idea of converting INS Vikrant into a museum was first mooted by Balasaheb.
Thackeray also accused the BJP of forging a secret pact to ensure the defeat of the Shiv Sena candidate in the Kolhapur North assembly election in 2019, while the Shiv Sena-BJP contested the seat as ally. Then this seat was won by Congress candidate Chandrakant Jadhav. “Whatever Shiv Sena workers do, they do it openly,” he said in reference to his party’s support to Congress candidate Jayshree Jadhav for the bypolls. The BJP has fielded Satyajit Kadam against Chandrakant Jadhav’s widow Jayshree, whose death led to a by-poll on April 12.
Later in the day, the police released four MNS workers including Yashwant Killedar.
