Fadnavis mocks Thackeray cousins' Mumbai march
Devendra Fadnavis, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, criticized Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray for their planned march in Mumbai.
Fadnavis thinks the march is more about the Thackerays trying to get back their political influence than helping students.
The Thackerays say the march is to support students protesting against unfair exam practices.
Fadnavis also talked about a temple project in Pandharpur and mentioned that an activist, Sonam Wangchuk, ended his protest after the government agreed to his demands.
Devendra Fadnavis criticized Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray's planned Tiranga march in Mumbai.
Fadnavis believes the march is politically motivated rather than genuinely supporting students.
Uddhav Thackeray claims the march is about the 'voice of the people' and supporting students protesting exam malpractices.
Fadnavis acknowledged genuine protesters but alleged political exploitation and attempts to create lawlessness.
The Pandharpur temple corridor project is planned to start this year and will take around 3.5 to 4 years to complete.
