Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on the fourth day in the ongoing winter session of the state legislature. 

During his address in Maharashtra Legislative assembly, CM Thackeray responded to the issues raised by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, Citizenship (Amendment), among others. 

Speaking on the controversy over Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remarks on Savarkar, CM Thackeray taunted the BJP on their knowledge on the views of Savarkar and said “Maharashtra madhe Gau mata, dusri kade khata”.

Do you understand Savarkar? Do you accept his views on the cow? You have introduced the beef ban in Maharashtra but not in other states. Savarkar was opposed to the same,” said Uddhav Thackeray.

CM Thackeray further pointed out that even the BJP minister including Kiren Rijiju and late Manohar Parrikar was opposed to the beef ban in their states. “Why these double standards?” asked Thackeray.

The Maharashtra CM also responded to the accusation made by BJP against Shiv Sena for forming an unholy alliance with Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress. 

We have learnt from you (BJP). You broke alliance with between Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav. You were okay with forming an alliance with Mehbooba Mufti and Ram Vilas Paswan,” said Thackeray.
