Rahul Gandhi has often accused Savarkar of apologizing to the British to get out of jail, and has routinely shot back at the Bharatiya Janata Party demands for an apology by claiming he was a Gandhi and not Savarkar to seek mercy.
It was Savarkar who after returning to Ratnagiri from jail in the Andamans started several activities to bring about social reforms. Savarkar had said unless we abolish untouchability, we will never become a great nation, Devendra Fadnavis said.
But those born with a golden spoon call him mafiveer (mercy seeker), Fadnavis said slamming Congress leaders.

The senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader further claimed a congratulatory motion was moved for Savarkar post Independence in Parliament by a member from West Bengal, and the Congress opposed it except for one person from the party.
His name was Feroze Gandhi, the grandfather of Rahul Gandhi, Fadnavis told the gathering. Attacking Rahul Gandhi further, Fadnavis said the former has taken a fake surname and that you are neither Savarkar nor Gandhi.

Does he (Rahul Gandhi) even know the history of the country, Fadnavis questioned. Some people’s parties are run on the money provided by the Chinese government. But they call Savarkar a mafiveer, he said in a swipe at the Congress.
Savarkar endured harsh suffering, poor quality food and all kinds of harassment from the British at the jail in Andamans, the deputy CM said. He also attacked Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray for allying with the Congress, which routinely insults Savarkar.
