'I will break your legs' after banning Pak film: MNS threatens to beat Mumbai Congress Chief Sanjay Nirupam

Once known as a progressive state, Maharashtra is now turning in to a lawless state, as politicians in the state openly threaten each other. On Wednesday MNS Corporator Sandeep Deshpande issued a threat to Congress leader Sanjay Nirupam for allegedly threatening civic officials.

“If Nirupam has the guts then he should come to Dadar and stop the action against hawkers, if he even comes and touches one of the BMC officials then he would not go back on his own feet. Talking and doing it are two different things… This is not UP or Bihar where Nirupam would have have his way,”said Deshpande on Wednesday.

The MNS group leader in the BMC was responding to the Mumbai Congress chief’s alleged comment on Tuesday where he said that they would physically stop civic officials from removing unauthorized hawkers from Dadar.

Deshpande claimed that the ‘Congress leadership should not issue such statements as it only has leaders but it doesn’t have cadres hence they should not issue such statements’ which the Congress cannot be followed up.

Mumbai Congress Chief Nirupam has been championing the cause of the hawkers in the city asking the civic body not to take action against the hawkers who are plying their wares in an unauthorized manner in the city.
