The BJP Minority Morcha’s scheme is expected to benefit 32 lakh underprivileged Muslims across the country.
“This is not 'Saugat-e-Modi' but 'Saugat-e-Satta'…this initiative is only for the Bihar Assembly elections. The BJP has resorted to satta-jihad..., Thackery said while speaking to reporters.
He also criticised the Maharashtra government, saying that it summoned comedian Kunal Kamra for insulting a "traitor", but took no action against actor Rahul Solapurkar over his "insult" of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj.
When a comment was made against the 'traitor' (apparent reference to Eknath Shinde), the studio where the programme was recorded was stormed, and Kamra was sent two summons (for allegedly defaming Shinde).
