In Maharashtra, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray has lately been seen addressing many election meetings. Despite the MNS not fielding any candidates this Lok Sabha elections, he has been targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his rallies.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has taken notice of this and has written to Election Commission (EC) asking who is the MNS chief actually contesting for? The party has written to the EC demanding that the expenditure for Raj Thackeray’s campaigns be added to the local candidate’s expenses. The BJP’s demands have even put the EC in a quandary.
Huge crowds are being witnessed at Raj Thackeray’s election rallies and in his speeches he has been directly targeting PM Modi.
He’s been heard saying to the public:
