MUMBAI: Mayor
Kishori Pednekar
on Wednesday hit out at the
BJP state chief over his comments that
Uddhav Thackeray should step down from the CM’s post and his son, environment minister Aaditya Thackeray, or his wife, Rashmi, can be given the charge.
Pednekar asked Patil if the BJP would make Amruta Fadnavis, wife of opposition leader Devendra Fadnavis, the opposition leader in the assembly. “They should first ask if
Amruta Fadnavis will be made the opposition leader. She is always in the limelight. Rashmi vahini is never in the limelight. If
Rashmi Thackeray
’s name is being taken by the BJP, then they must tell us if Amruta Fadnavis is being made the opposition leader,” she said.
Patil on Wednesday said Thackeray should step down as the CM and give the charge to someone else till he is well.
State Congress chief
Nana Patole said PM Narendra Modi should do the same. “The BJP should check the PM’s Parliament attendance first. Even he is not present in the Lok Sabha and
Rajya Sabha
on many occasions. If the PM is not in the house then his charge too should be given to another minister. I have had discussions with him (the CM), but the opposition is politicising the issue for no reason,” Patole said. Patole said the CM was in good health and will attend the ongoing legislature session.
Thackeray, who is recuperating after a spine surgery, did not attend the winter session on Wednesday.
