MUMBAI, July 9 -- Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said Jharkhand's BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's comments on Marathi people are not acceptable. Reacting to MNS workers slapping a shop owner for not speaking in Marathi, the BJP MP from Jharkhand had said that people in Maharashtra are "surviving on our money" and those targeting non-Marathi speakers in the state would be thrashed. His remarks were slammed by opposition parties as well as the BJP's allies in the Mahayuti government. The state BJP has also distanced itself from Dubey's statements. "He appears to have spoken about the organisation (MNS) but he should have refrained from such remarks as they have created confusion. The contribution of the Marathi manoos (people) is well known. Maharashtra contributes most to the country's GDP. When there was an attempt to erase the country's culture, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj fought to retain it. It is inappropriate to speak like this against the Marathi Manoos," Fadnavis said while addressing the media on Tuesday....
