Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray’s convoy has been targeted in Thane. Cow dung was thrown at him, which has created a ruckus in Maharashtra politics. Now Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has reacted to this. Shinde has called it a reaction to the action. On the other hand, BJP also launched a scathing attack on Uddhav Thackeray. BJP’s state president even called him the leader of Aurangzeb fan club. He said that Uddhav Thackeray has long given up the ‘saffron’ ideology. He has ‘distanced himself from the legacy’ of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
The whole ruckus started when Uddhav Thackeray reached Rangayatan Auditorium for a meeting of his party workers. Then the workers of Raj Thackeray’s party MNS threw cow dung and tomatoes on his convoy. This area is considered to be of CM Eknath Shinde. In such a situation, when Shinde was questioned about this, he said, who started this? Shiv Sena (UBT) workers targeted Raj Thackeray’s convoy in Aurangabad. This is just a reaction to the action. Eknath Shinde said, those who have abandoned the ideas of Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray and Shiv Sena leader Anand Dighe will have to face such situations. Let us tell you that before this, workers of Uddhav Thackeray’s party had thrown betel nuts on Raj Thackeray’s convoy.
On the other hand, Raj Thackeray has accepted throwing tomatoes at Uddhav Thackeray’s convoy. He wrote on Facebook, the protest done by my Maharashtra soldiers in front of Uddhav Thackeray’s car in Thane yesterday was a reaction of anger. An attempt was made to create obstacles during my Navnirman Yatra. The people who came to protest in Dharashiv were making announcements in the name of Maratha reservation movement. But later it was seen that they had nothing to do with this movement. They were associated with Sharad Pawar and Uddhav Thackeray faction. And all these things came to light on social media. Raj Thackeray said, I had also said in yesterday’s press conference that do not mess with me because you will not know what my Maharashtra soldier will do.
Who said- leader of Aurangzeb fan club
BJP also attacked Uddhav Thackeray. Maharashtra BJP President Chandrashekhar Bawankule said, Aurangzeb fan club leader Uddhav Thackeray went to Thane and made a lot of noise about making BJP Ram-free, but this will not be possible for you in this lifetime. You are carrying the palanquin of Aurangzeb’s successors and have abandoned “saffron”. This is the beginning of your downfall. For personal gain, you have forgotten Pujya Balasaheb, the public will not forgive you. Let us tell you that a few days ago, Uddhav Thackeray had described BJP leader Amit Shah as Ahmed Shah Abdali.
Sanjay Raut also retaliated
Uddhav Thackeray faction leader Sanjay Raut hit back. He said, Abdali enjoys seeing Marathi people fighting among themselves. Abdali has hired some people on ‘contract’ to create division. He warned the attackers who targeted Uddhav Thackeray’s convoy that they should think about their families amid the ongoing political tension. Raut said, I am asking everyone to wait for two months, the reaction to this act will be known in the coming time.
