“Whatever political storms come, I will face… I will fight coronavirus too,” he said in his address to the state on Sunday.
Caught in crisis on both political and public health front, Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray today assured the citizens of the state that he would balance it all. “Whatever political storms come, I will face… I will fight coronavirus too,” he said in his address to the state on Sunday.
“Over the last few days, we have done a lot of work (on coronavirus)… we will fight the political crisis too,” the Shiv Sena supremo said.
“Whatever storms have reached the state, be it natural or political, the government has been fighting them,” Thackeray remarked, indirectly referring to the persistent attack on the state government in the wake of Sushant Singh Rajput death investigation.
Targeted earlier by the opposition over the issue of negligence in Sushant Singh Rajput’s post-death investigation, the Maharashtra government locked horns with actress Kangana Ranaut a few days back, who referred to the state capital Mumbai as Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK).
The actress went on to challenge the Chief Minister Thackeray in a social media video, after the Mumbai Civic body demolished a part of her office, saying she would fight the state government.
On another difficult front, the Sena also has to pamper to the Maratha population, which has been deeply upset by the Supreme Court’s refusal to endorse the Martha quota for jobs or college admissions, earlier granted by Bombay High Court.
“I assure you that we will fight for justice for you. Even in the last government, all four parties worked towards giving reservations to the Maratha community. And we will fight for it. We have best of legal counsels with us… But I appeal to you to not come out on roads protesting as the Covid crisis is looming large,” CM Thackeray said during his address.
