Uddhav hits out at CM over ‘rudali’ comment, calls him ‘perverted and mean-spirited’ | Mumbai News
Mumbai: Hitting back at CM Devendra Fadnavis for his comment that the Thackeray cousins’ ‘reunion’ rally was a “rudali” (professional women mourners) act and not a “victory celebration”, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray said that the “original BJP” was “dead” and that “those who feel sad about the happy moments of Marathi people are very perverted and mean-spirited.”Uddhav also clarified that he was not against any language but was against Hindi compulsion or the imposition of any language. “If they want to have three languages, they must tell us what third language will be taught in Uttar Pradesh,” he said.“I can understand their (BJP) mentality because the original BJP is dead. It was murdered by these people. ‘Rudali’ is also a Hindi word. They have taken help from our party, Congress, NCP, and parties across the country to get people to express sorrow because the original BJP is dead,” Uddhav said while speaking at Vidhan Bhavan.He also hit out at BJP minister Ashish Shelar, who compared the terrorists in Pahalgam to those assaulting non-Marathis in Mumbai. “We Shiv Sainiks are helping people without looking at caste or religion. Those who are comparing Marathi people with the terrorists of Pahalgam are the real killers of Marathi. They cannot even save Hindus; they are taking sides with those who do injustice to Marathi. If any BJP member is comparing a Marathi person who agitates for rights with the terrorists of Pahalgam, they are the killers of Marathi. So did the terrorists of Pahalgam join the BJP? They should tell us. Where did they go? Are they living in the houses of those who accused us? It is the misfortune of Maharashtra that such incompetent people are ruling in Maharashtra,” he said.Uddhav also held a meeting of Sena (UBT) legislators in Vidhan Bhavan and asked them to remind assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar about the appointment of the leader of ppposition (LoP) in the assembly. The Sena (UBT) will give a reminder letter to Narwekar on Tuesday asking him to make a decision on appointing an LoP. Narwekar has said they are studying the rules and examining if the LoP’s post can be given if a party has less than 10% MLAs. After the budget session, this is the second session of the new Mahayuti govt without an LoP in the assembly.
