Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has slammed Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray over sharing old clips of Balasaheb Thackeray on his views about loudspeakers in mosques and questioned why the issue was never raised when Vilasrao Deshmukh, Prithviraj Chavan and Devendra Fadnavis were chief ministers?
As per report by ANI, while addressing a public rally in the Hadapsar area of Pune on Thursday, Raut said, “There is politics over loudspeakers everywhere and some old clips of Balasaheb on his views about loudspeakers in mosques are being shared. Why this issue was never raised for 50 years when Vilasrao Deshmukh, Prithviraj Chavan and Devendra Fadnavis were CM?”
“He (MNS chief Raj Thackeray) never had any issue with loudspeakers during this period, but he has this issue now because his brother (Uddhav Thackeray) is the CM of Maharashtra,” he added.
Balasaheb was a person who even accepted a Muslim Chief Minister for the state, many youngsters wouldn’t know this but Abdul Rahman Antulay was their favourite Chief Minister to Balasaheb.
“People had asked Balasaheb when Shiv Sena will come to the power, what kind of CM he wants. He had said he wanted CM like Abdul Rahman Antulay who could take decision instantly and who has a good command over the administration,” he stated.
