‘BJP Wants To Make Maharashtra Next Manipur’: Aaditya Thackeray Lashes Out Devendra Fadnavis Govt Over Nagpur Violence
Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA Aaditya Thackeray on Tuesday hit out at Maharashtra government over the violent clashes that broke out in central Nagpur late Monday night.
Speaking to the media in Mumbai, Aaditya alleged, “I think BJP wants to make Maharashtra the next Manipur… Why did no reaction come from the CMO when violence was spreading in Nagpur?”
“If you take a look at Manipur, the state has been experiencing violence since 2023. There are conflicts across the state. Will there be investments there or growth in tourism? No. They want to put Maharashtra in the same situation. I was reading today that Vietnam is a smaller country than India, and the population is also less, but their electronic industry is 3 times more. Our country considers itself strong, but the BJP is trying to divide the country into districts, religions, and castes,” said Worli MLA.
On Monday night, in a post on X, Aaditya responded to the incident, stating, “The law and order situation in the state has collapsed like never before. Nagpur, the home city of the CM and Home Minister, is facing this.”
The incident from last evening has sparked a political uproar in the state, as opposition parties attacked the BJP-ruled state government over the incident.
BJP is trying to turn Maharashtra into Gujarat: Congress
Congress MP Praniti Shinde, daughter of former Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde, responding to the Nagpur violence, told news agency PTI, “They (referring to BJP) are trying to turn Maharashtra into Gujarat. Since they came to power, they have repeatedly tried to create divisions in society in the name of religion… They keep attempting to provoke violence like they did in Gujarat… The most surprising thing is that the PM (Modi) himself delivers provocative speeches during his visits… There are so many contemporary issues in Maharashtra, but they don’t want to address those. Instead, they are turning a 300-year-old incident, which is a non-issue, into an issue.”
About the incident:
The clash between two groups broke out in central Nagpur late Monday night amid rumours that the holy book of the Muslim community was burnt during an agitation by a right-wing body demanding the removal of Aurangzeb’s tomb.

Nagpur Police Commissioner Ravinder Singal on Tuesday said that over 50 people have been taken into custody, and five FIRs have been registered in connection with the violence.

State ready for Zilla Parishad and Gram Panchayat Mahayuti elections: Chief Minister Fadnavis
In the Zilla Parishad and Gram Panchayat elections in Mumbai state, Mahayuti will contest the election as a united front and even where there is no electoral consensus in Mahayuti, there will be a friendly contest and it is hoped that the people of the state will trust Mahayuti in these elections. This claim has been made by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. No formula for the distribution of seats in Mahayuti has been decided so far for the local body elections. However, where the alliance party and the BJP are strong, a formula for a solo contest has been decided, just like the talk of Eknath Shinde in Thana and BJP’s solo contest in Pune is common.
Fadnavis criticized Uddhav Thackeray and said that it is his job to insult him. If he is visiting the state, it is a good thing, but the people know everything and they will restore faith in Mahayuti in the elections. He said that the Election Commission has announced the elections. Uddhav Thackeray and the opposition want to postpone the elections, so they are alleging irregularities and rigging in the voting list. However, the Supreme Court has issued instructions to hold the elections soon, so it is not possible to postpone or delay the elections. Fadnavis expressed confidence that he has faith in the people. This time too, the people will agree with Mahayuti. Therefore, the opposition wants to postpone and postpone the elections, while Mahayuti is ready for the elections.
Mumbai: Maharashtra Samajwadi Party leader and MLA Abu Asim Azmi has expressed his anger over Nitesh Rane statement and has given a befitting reply and said that no one’s father has India. He said that Nitesh Rane constantly shows provocations and no action is taken against him. Many cases have been registered but no action is taken. Sharjeel Imam, Umar Khalid are in jail but they are free. They did not show any provocation. The Supreme Court has directed strict action against hate speech but why does the government not take action against such elements who spread hatred.
