Uddhav Thackeray slammed BJP's Nishikant Dubey, calling him a "hyena" for inciting Marathi-Hindi tensions. Shiv Sena warned Dubey of strong reactions. Other leaders urged restraint
Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray launched a fierce attack on BJP MP Nishikant Dubey on Monday, accusing him of inciting linguistic tensions in Maharashtra for political gain. Reacting to Dubey’s controversial “patak patak ke marenge” (will thrash you) comment amid the ongoing Marathi vs Hindi debate, Thackeray compared the BJP leader to a “lakadbagha” (hyena) and accused the ruling party of fuelling discord to derive electoral benefits.
Speaking at Vidhan Bhavan, Uddhav alleged that the BJP was resorting to a divisive political playbook. “Divide and rule has always been the BJP’s policy. This style of politics is now losing its relevance. I can understand if their party is unsettled because of the success of our rally in Mumbai on Saturday,” he said, as quoted by news agency PTI.
