Mumbai: Former Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has hit out at the Shiv Sena-led alliance government and AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi.
The BJP leader, in a volatile speech at the party’s Mahasankalp Sabha in Mumbai, compared the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to a Babri-like structure.
“I will not rest till I bring down the Babri-like structure of your power,” said Fadnavis, who chanted Hanuman Chalisa with other BJP workers.
“We just chanted Hanuman Chalisa. Would Balasaheb Thackeray have ever thought that reading Hanuman Chalisa during his son’s reign would be treason and that visiting the grave of Aurangzeb would be a state etiquette?” said Fadnavis.
Navneet and Ravi Rana, an MP-MLA couple from Maharashtra’s Amravati district, were recently arrested for threatening to recite Hanuman Chalisa outside CM Uddhav Thackeray’s residence.
Fadnavis attacked Owaisi over his recent visit to Aurangabad.
“Listen to me Owaisi. Even a dog would not pee on the identity of Aurangzeb,” Fadnavis said.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut mocked at Fadnavis’ comments, calling him a ‘failed’ leader.
“It is difficult for a downed train and a failed opposition leader to apply the brakes. Accident is inevitable”, tweeted Raut.
