Shajapur (MP), March 1
After Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, it is now the turn of Bharatiya Janashakti Party president Uma Bharati to lock horns with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena Chief Raj Thackeray on the issue of celebrating Chhath festival in Mumbai.
“I will go to Mumbai to celebrate Chhath and I dare Raj Thackeray to prevent me from doing so if he has guts,” the firebrand former BJP leader announced in a press conference.
“In order to ensure his existence and gain cheap publicity Thackeray is making such baseless statements which is not in the interest of the nation,” she said.
Earlier, addressing party workers in the town on Friday she alleged that corruption, terrorism and Naxalism is surviving in the country due to Congress party’s policies, while BJP has forgotten the core issues of Hindutva and Article 370 for the sake of power.
