Maharashtra BJP’s chief spokesman Keshav Upadhye asked the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackerray to cancel the annual Dussehra rally and use expenditures for flood discharge in Marathwada.
When Mr. Thacker became the head minister of the state, “he couldn’t move and stayed at home”, Mr. Upadhye added that it was time to be “atonement”.

A few parts of Maharashtra, including the drone -prone Marathwada region, were beaten with heavy rains, causing floods and widespread damage.
Keeping the Dussehra rally is a long -term tradition for Mr. Thacker and Sena. This year, on October 2, on the occasion of Dussehra, it will appeal to the rally in Shivaji Park in Mumbai.
“Marathwada, people are hugging under violent floods with people who lost everything. Thacker has already toured five regions for three hours and expressed pain in the affected pain and pain. Now it is time for action.

BJP leader claimed that while in power, Mr. Thacker, “he could not move and did not stay at home.”
“This is time for penance. The cancellation of the rally and the guidance of the funds will show a real concern for people.”
Mr. Upadhye also criticized the content of Mr. Thackeray’s annual rally, saying that he was known for the ideological aspect of the event under Bal Thacker, the founder of Shiv Sena in the past.

“Now, he was reduced to repeating the same scenario to claim that his party was stolen.
Mr. Thackerreray recently visited the flood -affected areas in the five regions of Marathwada, where he met and heard his complaints.
