'Will continue to take oath in name of Shivaji'

November 30, 2019 15:56

Responding to Devendra Fadnavis' criticism of taking his chief minister's oath in the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji, Uddhav Thackeray responded in a fiery manner.

He said, "You (the BJP) feel stung when we took names of Chhatrapati Shivaji (while taking oath). I will take the name again and again. Those who don't take names of their parents, have no right to live," he said. "It is not Maharashtra's culture when you think taking name of Chhatrapati Shivaji and parents is a crime," he said.

Earlier, Fadnavis claimed that the oath-taking ceremony of Thackeray and six other ministers was not in line with the rules. "Someone took Balasaheb Thackeray's name, someone took names of (Congress chief) Sonia (Gandhi) ji and (NCP president Sharad) Pawar Saheb. The oath was not taken as per the given format," Fadnavis added.
