TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ While the Dalit MLAs of the ruling BJP have remained tight-lipped over the recent Bhima-Koregaon violence that engulfed parts of Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena led by Uddhav Thackeray has been more vocal in attacking the Devendra Fadnavis government over its failure to contain it.
In a strongly-worded article in its mouthpiece ”Saamana”, the party said that only BJP government led by Devendra Fadnavis is to be blamed for the deadly violence that erupted in Pune and soon spread to other parts of the state.”
Continuing its attack, the Sena article said that the people of Maharashtra had to suffer because of Mumbai Police’s complicity with the ruling party. It further alleged that nothing could be done since Maharashtra’s Minister of State for Home belongs to BJP.
Giving a piece of advice to the ruling dispensation, the party said that the BJP government needs to rise above the petty politics of winning elections with the help of government machinery and the police. It should think of the welfare of the state, it added.
