The Shiv Sena (UBT) has criticised the BJP’s ‘Savarkar Gaurav Yatras’ being taken out where the Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde will lead the yatra in different parts of the state. Shiv Sena (UBT) spokesperson and the MP from South Mumbai Arvind Sawant said BJP should posthumously confer the Bharat Ratna to Veer Savarkar than carrying out the rally.
Sawant said that the BJP has been in office since 2014 under the leadership of Narendra Modi yet they didn't get time to honour Savarkar with the country’s highest civilian award. The Shiv Sena (UBT) noted that the government gave Bharat Ratna to Pranab Mukherjee, a congress leader, despite them writing innumerable letters to Modi suggesting Bharat Ratna for Savarkar.
ऐसे निकम्मे लोग...ये जो भी राऊत, फाऊत, दाऊद जो भी होंगे उनको मैं बता देता हूं...

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced that to honour the sacrifice, patriotism and overall dedication of Veer Damodar Savarkar and to bring his work to the people, Shiv Sena-BJP took out a Savarkar Gaurav Yatra across the state. Also, Uddhav Thackeray should show the courage to show his love for Savarkar not through speech but through action. They also challenged Thackeray that if Savarkar's Hinduism is acceptable, then he should show some courage and should slap Rahul Gandhi.
Uddhav Thackeray warned Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in a public meeting in Malegaon on Sunday that freedom fighter Savarkar is our god and will not tolerate his insult. After that, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis held a press conference and criticized Thackeray. Thackeray gave a hollow assurance to Rahul Gandhi that he will not tolerate the insult of freedom fighter Savarkar. In fact, twice during the budget session of the State Legislature and at the end of it, Gandhi took the position of humiliating Savarkar. But at that time Thackeray and his MLAs did not utter a word in the House.
