News India Xtra@newsIndiaxtraRaj Thackeray of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena says the BJP is using Chhath Puja to stir social tensions in Mumbai, and he urged people not to fall for it.
In an X post, he alleged the party is trying to provoke a clash between Marathis and North Indians before the Uttar Pradesh polls, and pointed to Bhojpuri songs at some Mumbai railway stations that his party moved to stop.
He argued the BJP has run short of ideas and that dividing communities no longer wins it votes, citing past attempts to inflame Hindu-Muslim and caste tensions around elections.
