Maharashtra Navnirman Sena President Raj Thackeray shot off a stinging letter on Thursday to his cousin and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on the Maha Vikas Aghadi government's "reluctance" to reopen temples in the state.

Expressing his 'disappointment and disillusionment' at the MVA government somehow slipping into a standstill mode on certain issues, Raj pointedly said: "I do wonder if the government is in a trance or daze and has turned a deaf ear to the reverent sentiments of Hindus".
