BJP Must Take "Credit" For Violence: Shiv Sena On Maratha Protests ndtv.com

MUMBAI: Taking a dim view of violence during the Maratha quota stir in Maharashtra, the Shiv Sena said on Thursday the state paid the price for the government's nature to "suppress" issues, and criticised Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis for "missing from the scene". The BJP usually leads in taking credit (for its various policies), and it should do the same for the bandh and violence, the Shiv Sena said.

Had the Chief Minister agreed to talk to the Maratha community when it all started with some people protesting in Parli (Beed district), the subsequent events would not have taken place, it said.
