He appealed to the moral conscience of the Thane police commissioner Jai Jeet Singh and asked him to take action in an objective manner and u201cnot only listen to the chief minister.u201dA political slugfest started in Maharashtra after Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray dubbed Maharashtra deputy chief minister Devendra Fadnavis a worthless home minister and sought his resignation after a woman worker, Roshni Shinde, was allegedly attacked by activists of the rival Shiv Sena over her `derogatory’ Facebook post on chief minister Eknath Shinde.
The assault was caught on camera and went viral on Tuesday night, but the police refused to register a complaint. After hearing about the incident, Uddhav Thackeray rushed to Thane with his wife Rashmi Thackeray, and son MLA Aaditya Thackeray to boost the morale of his party workers.
Maharashtra has got a worthless home minister. A helpless and servile man is the home minister here. He was not ready to act when his own party men were attacked by the ‘Mindhe’ (a derogatory term Thackeray’s party uses for Eknath Shinde) group, Thackeray told reporters. Should one call him (Shinde) the chief minister or a goonda Mantri? I am not saying that, but people will decide. They should have a minister in charge of the goonda department when they expand their cabinet, a fuming Thackeray said.
Speaking in Nagpur, Fadnavis said Thackeray had been a weak chief minister who couldn’t ask two ministers in his cabinet who were jailed to resign, an apparent reference to Anil Deshmukh and Nawab Malik (both NCP MLAs). I can respond to him (Thackeray) in the same language, but I will not use that kind of language. Uddhav Thackeray is frustrated. He was chief minister for two-and-a-half years but he never stepped out of his residence. He did all his work from home and never went among people, and people know it, he said.
