He accused the BJP of harbouring a "Manuvadi" and "Anti-Maharashtra" mindset, highlighting what they call a stark contradiction in the party&rsquo;s actions. &ldquo;On one hand, the government honours those imprisoned during the Emergency, yet on the other, they insult the creator of the Constitution that grants us our fundamental freedoms.
