Launching a frontal attack on the Shiv Sena-led Maharashtra government for not easing restrictions to allow people to celebrate Dahi Handi and other upcoming festivals, MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Tuesday alleged the three ruling parties are "using" the Covid-19 situation to their benefit.

Taking a dig, he said the state government is giving the impression that "everybody loves a good lockdown". Speaking to reporters, the MNS chief also accused the government of "selectively" relaxing the Covid-19 rules for some people and referred to "Jan Ashirwad Yatras" of BJP and performing a ritual in a temple by the son of a Shiv Sena MLA.
