'They Should Have Drunk Cow Urine': Uddhav Thackeray's 'Gaumutradhari Hindutva' Jibe At BJP

Uddhav Thackeray wanted to know from the RSS whether the BJP is doing everything right as the Maha Vikas Aghadi staged its second show of strength.

The former chief minister and head of the Shiv Sena (UBT) Uddhav Thackeray addressed the joint 'Vajramuth' rally of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Nagpur and lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), claiming that the party's "addiction to power" was destroying the nation.

Uddhav wanted to know from the RSS whether the BJP is doing everything right as the Maha Vikas Aghadi staged its second show of strength.

“I want to ask the RSS…is what the BJP is doing correct…does the nation expect answers on crucial issues?,” asked Thackeray, who spearheads the MVA. 

Interestingly, the second rally was held in Nagpur, the orange city that is regarded as the saffron party's stronghold and home to the RSS, the BJP's ideological parent.

He took a strong stance against the BJP and said that the party was pursuing what he called "gaumutradhari-Hindutva."

“Yes…I call them that….after the first (MVA) rally in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar….some BJP workers have gone there and sprinkled ‘gaumutra’ to purify the venue…is this right?….they are human beings those who attended the rally…yes many of those who attended the rally were Muslims…today also several Muslims are attending the rally,” he said. 

“If the (Adani Group)-Hindenburg Report is ‘faltu’ (useless) why (Prime Minister Narendra Modi) is silent…why there is no response to the allegations of (former Jammu & Kashmir Governor) Satyapal Malik (on the handling of the Pulwama incident, corruption and so on…the nation deserves an answer,” he said. “What is the worry about the Hindenburg…..(and after that) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi gets disqualified (as an MP),” he added. 

In addition, Thackeray slammed Cabinet Minister Chandrakant Patil for asserting that the Shiv Sena, founded by Bal Thackeray, had nothing to do with the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. 

“You are insulting Balasaheb by such statements…I remember how Balasaheb said - “Babri padli, ti padnarya Shiv Sainikancha mala abhiman ahe” (I am proud of the Shiv Sainiks who razed Babri).”
