The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Friday hit out at the Devendra Fadnavis-led Maharashtra government over the "imposition" of Hindi in the state schools, and asked whether the rulers were running a government or a comedy show, reported the PTI.

Aaditya also took a dig at School Education Minister Dada Bhuse, saying he should be sent to attend the classes of Grade 1, which he will fail to clear.

A row over the three-language formula has erupted in Maharashtra after the state government last week issued an amended order, stating that Hindi will "generally" be taught as the third language to students in Marathi and English medium schools from Classes 1 to 5.
