Maharashtra BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis has written to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray requesting him to reopen gyms in the state amid the COVID-19 crisis.

In his letter Fadnavis has written, "If you have opened liquor shops, then why shouldn't gyms be allowed to open? It's true that improvement in financial condition of the state is important but it's also true that improving health is more important in these times."
