The Uddhav Thackeray authorities over the previous few months has displayed an unwavering penchant for U-Turn because the three-party alliance flip-flops its approach by governance. After stating that the Maharashtra authorities would examine India’s jewels – Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar, state Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has now backtracked as he now claims that the state will solely probe the function of BJP IT Cell Chief and never the celebrities.Shiv Sena which likes to play the Marathi Asmita card at any time when cornered, shocked its core voter base after the Uddhav Thackeray authorities determined to research two of India’s shining jewels – Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar for tweets calling out for unity towards overseas interference in India’s inside affairs.Unsurprisingly, this led to an enormous public outrage which, maybe, compelled the Maharashtra authorities to take a significant U-Turn. State Home Minister Anil Deshmukh has claimed that his earlier statements the place he claimed that the celebs could be investigated have been ‘misconstrued’.“What I had said was that we would investigate the BJP IT cell. It has been wrongly claimed that we would be investigating Lata Mangeshkar, Sachin Tendulkar. We hold Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar in high esteem. There is no question of investigating such people,” mentioned Deshmukh.He added, “We would be investigating the BJP IT cell on whether they gave any script. Our preliminary probe shows the involvement of the BJP IT cell chief and the role of 12 influencers. Further probe is on.”Last week, Maharashtra Home Minister Deshmukh assured Congress’ Sachin Sawant over a Zoom name that the state intelligence division will probe whether or not Sachin Tendulkar and others have been pressurised to tweet by the Centre.Read More: Shiv Sena-NCP takes politics to a brand new unfathomable low with a risk of police motion towards celebrities who spoke towards overseas interferenceCommenting on a Congress delegation’s demand for a state probe on the celebrities, like Sachin and Lata, who had tweeted in favour of the farm legal guidelines, Deshmukh again then had reportedly agreed together with his alliance companion’s declare.Maharashtra Home Minister Deshmukh had mentioned, “How did they all come together at the same time to tweet, the wordings are also the same.
