Mumbai: Continuing its tirade against Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi, Shiv Sena has launched a signature campaign in suburban Dombivali to condemn his alleged 'anti-Marathi' comments.
Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray, who was in Dombivali yesterday ahead of local Municipal Corporations polls, initiated the campaign with ally BJP appealing to people to participate.
"Who contributed to Maharashtra Tilak-Agarkar (political leaders and social reformers) or Biharis. Condemn Rahul Gandhi for being anti-Marathi," was the message written on a 20-feet-long board, which was signed by Uddhav first.
Following the Sena leader, hundreds of people signed the board and shouted anti-Rahul slogans.
Uddhav had on Friday targeted Rahul for his reported remarks during an election rally on Biharis contributing to Maharashtra's economy.
Asserting that this was an insult to Marathi people, Uddhav said Maharashtra was built by people like Chhatrapati Shivaji, Mahatma Phule and Babasaheb Ambedkar.c
