In a scathing critique, Uddhav Thackeray has launched a vehement attack on the Maharashtra government, accusing it of insensitivity and misconduct in the wake of recent tragic events. Thackeray’s remarks, delivered during a public statement, focus on the government’s alleged failure to address serious issues and its perceived negligence towards public safety.
Thackeray expressed his outrage by questioning the government’s commitment to justice and public welfare. “There will be flex. So why not register a protest? What is politics in this? Don’t want to protest? This government is acting insensitively,” Thackeray said. He criticized the government’s response to the murder of Abhishek Ghosalkar, pointing out that despite the gravity of the situation, the authorities had reacted rudely. Thackeray recalled Devendra Fadnavis’s previous comment about resigning if a dog was run over by a car, questioning, “Do they not value people’s lives?”
Thackeray’s remarks grew more intense as he addressed the current situation involving a young girl. “If someone is killed, you compare it to a dog run over by a car, so who are you comparing this little girl to? Don’t they have children? Are these safe? Are you vulnerable? What exactly do they mean?” he asked, underscoring his frustration with the perceived disregard for human life.
He also criticized the government’s handling of a recent incident involving the mother of the victim, who was reportedly detained for ten hours while pregnant and ill. “It’s half-baked. I don’t have the courage to read this news. Be it from Calcutta or Rajasthan. Where did this distortion come from?” Thackeray questioned.

Further, Thackeray accused the government of using schemes for political gain rather than genuine welfare. “This scheme is not designed keeping elections in mind like the beloved sister scheme. They should know this first,” he said, referring to a perceived lack of sincerity in government initiatives.
Thackeray’s critique extended to the state police, questioning their response and the role of the Police Commissioner. “Who is the Commissioner of Police? Why didn’t the bell ring? Where was the police commissioner?” Thackeray demanded, holding the police accountable for their actions and inactions.
Thackeray’s comments reflect growing discontent and frustration among opposition leaders regarding the current administration’s handling of critical issues and public safety. His statements highlight a broader concern about the government’s responsiveness and sensitivity to serious matters affecting the people of Maharashtra.
