BJP workers have demanded an apology from Uddhav Thackeray for calling Devendra Fadnavis a ‘taint on Nagpur’, but the Shiv Sena leader reiterated the jibe on Tuesday. In response, Fadnavis said his former friend, and now political opponent, needed psychiatric treatment to recover from the after-effects of recent developments.
Thackeray had made the statement on Monday in Nagpur where protests began immediately from the BJP camp. The agitation was intensified by the party on Tuesday in Nagpur and elsewhere. BJP leaders from Nagpur demanded Thackeray’s apology. Fadnavis’s office had released a statement accusing Thackeray of ‘earning too many taints’ by virtue of his political moves. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari condemned the jibe, as did state BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule. “Levelling personal allegations at such a low level does not suit the political culture of Maharashtra,” said Gadkari in a social media post.
