Uddhav, Sharad Corner Eknath Shinde-Led Maharashtra Govt

The partners in the opposition alliance Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) cornered the Eknath Shinde-led government in the state over the Badlapur sexual assault case.

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray said, "When the government felt that Maharashtra would remain closed, they sent their followers to the court. Our case has been in the Supreme Court for the last two years, and dates are being given. We are confident that we will get justice. Yesterday the court showed that the court can take a decision so quickly...".

"On one hand, the sister is being tortured and these people are tying rakhi. The Shakti Act that we had made has been sent to the President. I want to appeal to the President to pay attention to the Shakti Act that has been sent to your office and that law should be implemented in Maharashtra as soon as possible," he added.
