Samant Accuses Sena UBT of Hypocrisy Over Hindi Language Policy
The current government is accusing the previous government, led by Uddhav Thackeray, of hypocrisy.
They say that the previous government approved a plan that required Hindi to be taught in schools.
Now, the current government says that the former government is protesting the same policy for political reasons.
