Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday lashed out at the BJP for practicing 'gaumutradhari' Hindutva. The Shiv Sena (UBT) chief accused the Center of 'looting' Maharashtra and urged the INDIA bloc to ensure the country's 'lost glory'. The state was reclaimed after it was brought to power.
“BJP's Hindutva is gaumutradhari. Our Hindutva is reformist… When the INDIA alliance comes to power, I will ensure that the lost glory of Maharashtra is regained,” Thackeray said on Friday.
The comments came in the wake of a blistering attack by BJP leader Amit Shah at an earlier rally in Ratnagiri. The Home Minister had asked if the 'nakli' Shiv Sena chief could mention freedom fighter and Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar in his speeches.
