Maharashtra Navirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray on Thursday hit out at Uddhav Thackeray for "politicising" deaths due to heat stroke during an event in Kharghar and said that many people were also killed during Covid wave under MVA government due to negligence, and "murder cases" should be registered against those responsible.

Talking to the mediapersons, Raj Thackeray said, "Many types of negligence were also seen in the time of Covid. So, murder cases should be registered on them too. Politics should not be done regarding this (Kharghar) incident". The MNS chief also met Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and discussed several issues of the state.
