Shivsena (UBT): Why does the BJP hate and insult Maharashtra

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray took to X, Aaditya Thackeray took X formerly known as Twitter and said, “I can understand the BJP wanting to save its government and giving Bihar and Andhra Pradesh a huge sum of the budget. But what is Maharashtra’s fault? That we are the largest taxpayer? What did we get against what we contribute? Was Maharashtra even mentioned once in the budget? Why does the BJP hate and insult Maharashtra so much? It’s a shame that despite unconstitutionally forming a government and running the most corrupt regime in our state, Maharashtra gets nothing in return. Looting Maharashtra through mindhe regime’s corruption and then taxes, direct and indirect. That’s what we face.”

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi said, “The budget should be called the Pradhan Mantri Sarkar Bachao Yojana. There was nothing for Maharashtra as has become the norm for this government. The state will continue to be a cash cow to get money to the centre but never to give money for the state’s development.”

Kalpesh Mhamunkar, Leader of Opposition in State assembly, Vijay Vaddetiwar said, “Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu are in alliance with the NDA government. Why step brother treatment is being given to the state who pays highest tax to the country. Industries of  Maharashtra are being stolen and shifted to Gujarat. BJP needs Maharashtra only to get taxes and votes.”

Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader Worker Assembly Abu Asim Azmi criticized the statement of Home Minister Amit Shah and said that it is the responsibility of the Home Minister and the Central Government to take action against Bangladeshi and Pakistani infiltrators. The population of Muslims in India has increased due to Bangladeshis. This is completely wrong. The residents of West Bengal and ordinary Muslims are being targeted under the guise of Bangladeshi and Pakistanis. He said that the government is yours in many states and at the center, so how do Bangladeshi infiltrators enter from the border? What action has the government taken against those who forge their documents so far? He said that targeting Muslims under the guise of Bangladeshi should be stopped, just as Karat Soumya is trying to fake the certificates and documents of every Muslim and is targeting Muslims. He said that the government should pay attention to how Bangladeshi infiltrators infiltrate from the Indian border. This is not the job of Congress, SP or other parties. It is the job of the government to take action against Bangladeshi and Pakistanis and to bring them to justice. But Muslims should not be harassed or disturbed. He said that action is being taken against those officers who are preparing documents for Bangladeshis.
