Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, in an oblique reference to former alliance partners Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), said on Saturday that hunger for power amid an ongoing pandemic has the potential to lead to anarchy. “If people who voted for me do not survive the Covid- 19 pandemic, what is the use of power? Acting with lust for power amid Covid-19 will lead to anarchy,” Thackeray, who did not name the opposition party, was quoted as saying by news agency PTI. Thackeray led the charge as Maharashtra saw a large number of daily deaths and cases during the second wave of the pandemic. A pandemic after 100 years happened during my tenure as chief minister.
