Maharashtra Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Chandrashekhar Bawankule said the party workers would not let Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray step out of his residence in Mumbai if he continues to use objectional language against Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Earlier in the day, Thackeray dubbed Fadnavis a worthless home minister and the latter replied with a weak former chief minister jibe. Maharashtra had seen a very responsible chief minister in Devendra Fadnavis who had also served as the home minister (2014-19) and before that, he was the opposition leader.
On the other hand, Uddhav Thackeray didn't step out of his house when he was the CM. He doesn't know the problems faced by the last man in society, Bawankule said. Thackeray has demanded the resignation of Fadnavis after a woman worker from the Thackeray-led faction was allegedly attacked by activists of rival Shiv Sena.
Fadnavis hit back, saying Thackeray was a weak chief minister who had sacrificed his ideology for the sake of power and need not be given importance. He said Thackeray was born with a golden spoon and his only identity is he is the son of Bal Thackeray.
Slamming Thackeray, the BJP leader said Uddhav's only achievement is getting elected using photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi but later joining hands with the Congress and the NCP to become the chief minister.
Bawankule alleged Thackeray is acting like a frustrated man who goes to commit suicide, and using uncultured language. But by using such words (against opponents), Uddhav Thackeray is on the path of committing political suicide, he said.
