Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief Uddhav Thackeray criticized Maharashtra’s current leadership, alleging that the state is being ignored in favor of Bihar ahead of elections there. Speaking recently, Thackeray remarked:
“…I think four or five days ago, the Chief Minister went to meet the Prime Minister, and news came that he was waiting for a proposal from the Prime Minister. There are elections in Bihar and the Prime Minister gave Rs. 10,000 to every woman there…Maharashtra is in crisis and there are elections in Bihar; that is why you are looking towards Bihar and ignoring Maharashtra. This is injustice, sheer injustice…”
Thackeray’s comments highlight growing political discontent in Maharashtra, as he accused the government of prioritizing electoral gains in Bihar over addressing the state’s pressing issues. The former Chief Minister emphasized that such focus on another state while Maharashtra faces a crisis is unacceptable and unfair to the people of Maharashtra.
