Uddhav Thackeray Calls for Change in Maharashtra Government at Dussehra Rally
Uddhav Thackeray criticizes Maharashtra government at Dussehra rally, urging change for the sake of public welfare.
Mumbai, October 20 (Daily Kiran) : Uddhav Thackeray, the leader of Shiv Sena (UBT), launched a scathing attack on the Maharashtra government during the party’s annual Dussehra rally held at the historic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Park in Mumbai on October 20.
Speaking to a large crowd of party workers, Thackeray addressed several pressing issues, ranging from the troubles faced by farmers to significant security concerns. He stated emphatically, “We have come here to change the government. When a government stops working for the public good, it should be replaced.”
Thackeray accused the BJP-led central government of systematically suppressing democratic values. He claimed that the government was infringing upon citizens’ fundamental rights to vote and peacefully protest. He criticized the administration for its treatment of protesters, alleging that there had been harshness and excesses directed at youth and women.
Beginning his address with a traditional greeting, Thackeray urged party workers to stand firm and fearless. He remarked, “Do not live like chickens in a coop. Live like a tiger, even if it’s just for a day.”
He asserted that neither their identity nor their sacred saffron flag could be taken away from them. Turning his attention to the agricultural crisis, Thackeray questioned the state government’s actual relief efforts for farmers affected by heavy and unseasonal rains.
Despite claims from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis regarding substantial relief packages, Thackeray argued that farmers had received little to no assistance. He pointed out that the installments of the ‘Namo Kisan Yojana’ had not reached the intended beneficiaries, sarcastically stating that the state government had merely “thrown five thousand rupees in front of farmers.”
Thackeray also highlighted a tragic incident involving a young man who took his own life due to a lack of funds for a school trip. He condemned the state administration, claiming that the government was built on hollow promises and incomplete loan waivers.
This rally underscored Thackeray’s call for accountability and change in leadership, reflecting growing discontent among the populace.
