Anganwadi workers from across Maharashtra gathered at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan on Wednesday to press for their various demands. Addressing them at the venue, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray took a dig at the ruling alliance in the State.
Calling the government “insensitive”, Mr. Thackeray said, “I have come before you today as your elder brother and not a politician. You are on strike for the last one month, has the government come in your support to resolve the issues you are facing for years? If we didn’t have traitors in our governance, then we wouldn’t be facing this crisis today.”
Talking about the Ram Mandir invitation, the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief said he doesn’t need anybody’s invitation to visit it. “Does Lord Ram belong to BJP alone?” he asked the anganwadi workers and they responded, “No.”
