Neither Hindi nor Marathi, Uddhav & Raj just love family: BJP
In a recent development, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray came together for a joint rally to celebrate the Maharashtra government’s rollback of the three-language policy. The move has sparked a heated debate, with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing the duo of coming together due to political compulsions.
BJP leader Gaurav Vallabh took to social media to express his views on the matter, stating that Uddhav and Raj’s love for Hindi and Marathi was nothing but a facade. “Stop hiding behind Hindi and Marathi. You neither love Marathi nor Hindi, you just love your family,” he said.
Vallabh’s statement is a clear reflection of the BJP’s sentiments on the matter. The party has long been critical of the three-language policy, terming it as a move to undermine the importance of Hindi and Marathi. The party has also accused the Shiv Sena and MNS of being hypocrites, claiming that they only love their family and not the languages they claim to promote.
The three-language policy, which was rolled back by the Maharashtra government earlier this month, aimed to make Hindi, Marathi, and English mandatory in schools. The move was met with widespread opposition from various quarters, with many arguing that it would lead to the dilution of regional languages and cultural identities.
The BJP, which has been a strong advocate of the three-language policy, has been vocal in its criticism of the Shiv Sena and MNS. The party has accused the duo of being opportunistic and power-hungry, and of using the issue to further their own political interests.
Uddhav Thackeray, in his speech at the joint rally, had claimed that the three-language policy was an attempt to impose Hindi on the people of Maharashtra. He had also accused the BJP of being anti-Maharashtra and anti-Marathi, and of trying to erase the state’s cultural identity.
Raj Thackeray, on the other hand, had claimed that the three-language policy was a conspiracy to destroy the Marathi language and culture. He had also accused the BJP of being a party that only cared about Hindi and not about the languages and cultures of other states.
The BJP, however, has rejected these claims, stating that the party is committed to promoting and preserving regional languages and cultures. The party has also accused the Shiv Sena and MNS of trying to create a false narrative and divide the people of Maharashtra along linguistic and cultural lines.
The debate over the three-language policy has been ongoing for several months now, with both sides presenting their arguments and counter-arguments. While the Shiv Sena and MNS have been critical of the policy, the BJP has been a strong advocate of it.
The joint rally by Uddhav and Raj has further escalated the tensions between the two parties, with the BJP accusing them of coming together due to political compulsions. The party has also claimed that the duo’s love for Hindi and Marathi is nothing but a facade, and that they only love their family.
In conclusion, the debate over the three-language policy is a complex issue that has sparked heated debates and counter-arguments. While the Shiv Sena and MNS have been critical of the policy, the BJP has been a strong advocate of it. The joint rally by Uddhav and Raj has further escalated the tensions between the two parties, with the BJP accusing them of coming together due to political compulsions.
