Mumbai, Sept. 18 -- Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday led a protest in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar against the mounting backlog of development in Marathwada and urged people to come together irrespective of caste and community and bring the BJP-led Mahayuti government to its knees. Addressing the protest titled 'Tumse Na Ho Payega (You won't be able to do it)' in front of the divisional commissioner's office, Thackeray said the backlog of development, irrigation and infrastructure projects in Marathwada had touched Rs.60,000 crore. "What is the state government doing? People should raise their voice. If they come together and warn chief minister Devendra Fadnavis about consequences in the ensuing election, the state government will start working for the development of Marathwada region," he said. The Mahayuti government must immediately declare a drought in areas where rainfall deficit was high and compensate farmers for crop loss, he said, adding, "I along with Aaditya Thackeray and other leaders will tour Maharashtra in October to check if the government is conducting drought-related surveys (to assess crop loss) properly." Thackeray also accused the Mahayuti government of driving a wedge between different castes and communities in Maharashtra by using the bogey of reservation. He urged communities such as Marathas, OBCs, and Dhangars to maintain peace and harmony and slammed union home minister Amit Shah for claiming that Maharashtra was a multilingual state. "The home minister dared to insult Marathi and Maharashtra as people are divided into castes and communities," he said. Responding to the allegations, chief minister Devendra Fadnavis slammed Thackeray and said "incompetent people" were behind the protest in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar. "These protests are being undertaken by incompetent people. They can't do anything else but speak," Fadnavis said. Thackeray reached Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar on Wednesday to take part in Marathwada Mukti Din celebrations, commemorating the integration of Marathwada, which was ruled by the Nizam of Hyderabad, into the Indian Union on September 17, 1948. He criticised deputy chief minister and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde for his absence at the celebrations, saying he had gone to Gujarat to celebrate the birthday of PM Narendra Modi and eat dhokla. Thackeray dared three Marathwada MPs who had defected from the Shiv Sena (UBT) to the Shinde-led Sena to raise their voice against the backlog of development in Marathwada....
