CM Uddhav Thackeray seems to be very aggressive on the Hanuman Chalisa controversy. He warned BJP directly in words and said that don’t resort to Dadagiri. If tried to do so, we know how to crumble it. Don’t provoke Shiv Sena or else it will be very costly.
Uddhav said, “It’s being said that we’ve ignored Hindutva. Is Hindutva a dhoti or what? Our Hindutva is ‘Gada Dhari’ like Lord Hanuman’s Gada. If you want to recite Hanuman Chalisa, call and come home. But if you resort to ‘Dadagiri’ we know how to crumble it. Don’t make us angry.”
The politics on Hanuman Chalisa is heating up in Maharashtra. BJP and Shiv Sena have come face to face with each other. A glimpse of this was seen even when the BJP did not reach the all-party meeting called on the issue of loudspeakers. Even after the meeting, Shiv Sena and BJP held separate press conferences. Shivsena did not talk too sharply with the media. But former CM Devendra Fadnavis was seen showing a mirror to Shiv Sena in the name of Hindutva.
After arresting Amravati MP Navneet Rana, BJP is trying to keep the matter warm. Experts say that the reason for the sharp attitude of CM Uddhav is BJP’s politics. They are understanding that BJP is bent upon proving them as pseudo Hindu. Whereas religion is the core of Shiv Sena’s politics.
This is the reason why Uddhav has threatened BJP in a flat tone. Analysts say that in the coming days, politics regarding religion seems to be getting more intense. That is, the relationship between BJP and Shiv Sena is expected to show even more massive strife.
