Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday took a swipe at Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray over their protest against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar, calling the cousins “Ghajinis” and accusing them of using the Election Commission to express their frustration after being rejected by voters.

Fadnavis said the protest march in Mumbai was an attempt by the Thackeray cousins to regain political ground and claimed that the turnout was lower than expected.
