Uddhav Thackeray Making Political Remarks Over Cyclone: Devendra Fadnavis

Speaking to reporters in Sindhudurg, the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly said the Thackeray government was making hollow promises on relief as people affected by cyclone Nisarga last year were yet to get compensation.

BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Friday said Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray was making "political comments" while touring areas of the state hit by cyclone Tauktae and advised the latter that "this is not the time to indulge in politics". Speaking to reporters in Sindhudurg, the Leader of Opposition in the Assembly said the Thackeray government was making hollow promises on relief as people affected by cyclone Nisarga last year were yet to get compensation. "I am surprised the chief minister is making political comments during his visit to cyclone affected areas of Konkan. His tour was of merely three hours and this is not the time to indulge in politics. People affected due to Nisarga cyclone last year are yet to receive financial assistance. This government is making hollow promises instead of taking firm steps," the former Chief Minister said.
