#WATCH | On Marathi compulsory for auto, taxi, cab drivers, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis says, "We are not trying to make our Hindi-speaking brothers experts in the Marathi language, but they should have working knowledge of the language. Efforts are being made to make them learn the language. The... deadline to learn the language has been extended three times now. Our Mahayuti government will not allow injustice based on language."show more

Vote bhi usi se lena jisko marathi aati hai

The goodwill modi has created since last decade will be destroyed in a few months. Well done chutiyo

Dear @BJP4India @CMOMaharashtra - This is a self goal. Pls do not create fault lines where none exist. Please focus on good governance, better roads for Mumbai (खड्डे बघितलेत का?) and other issues that plague the state.

Say this also in Marathi - the Financial Capital of the country is now becoming a joke. The MNS and UdhavSena will even pick tourists and start the Marathi drama soon!

Narendra surrender k baad ab Devendra surrender. One surrendered to US/Trump and this chap surrendered to Raj thackeray. So sad to see this party loosing the spine every single day.

what the hell is BJP doing, they are just destroying all the good will they achieved so far....Why dont you ask pissfuls to speak Marathi....

Same energy

अरे लवणेन भोज्यं, अनिवार्य और वैकल्पिक में अंतर होता है । सीखना चाहिए, ठीक है, किसी की कनपटी पर रख के आप नहीं सीखने को विवश कर सकते । चुनाव सिर्फ़ महाराष्ट्र में नहीं होता है ।

Language used to be just the medium of communication, but uspe bhi politics krni hai.. BJP khud apne pairon pe kulhadi maar rh.. जब नाश मनुष्य पर छाता है, पहले विवेक मर जाता है!

chutiya hai sala

This is worst form of regional politics..People from various parts travel & work in different states to earn a living..Knowing Common language Hindi/ English must be enough..Each state will take this as ref & follow suit..Stop this before it's too late @narendramodi @AmitShah

Next time this guy comes to UP/Bihar or even Delhi he should be treated 'appropriately'.

ये खुद हिंदी में क्यों बोल रहा है।

So between wrong side driving and language hisab chukta govt chooses it's priorities correctly

Chutiya government. With such misplaced priorities, I will benhapoy to see them lose UP in 2027. Fadnavis wants Adityanath to lose UP. Gujarat is worried because of Yogi’s popularity. Why should cabbies learn Marathi? Why cant you use sign Language if you hate Hindi?

Phir why he is giving press conference in hindi?

Jo log bahar states me kaam kar rahe hain, unhe ab language ke chakkar me pareshan karenge. Isse logo ke beech sirf nafrat aur dooriyan hi badhengi. Pehle religion pe ladwate the, ab language pe nayi politics chalu kardi hai, bas public ko uljha ke rakhne ke liye.

Can we stop Bollywood to stop making films in Hindi? Imagine the cost of loss if all theater running only regional language film's. You know the beauty of our country? It's diversity don't force it let it be authentic

Why was this language war started in the first place?? Unnecessarily disturbing & creating unrest amongst the migrants

Good job by authorities , BIMARU Hindi speakers should keep some self respect and go back to native BIMARU language speaking state to earn livelihood. Obey the law of the land or get lost. No need to learn anything. Bhaiyaa CM🤣

Another Gem of @BJP4India ! बटेगा तभी तो कटेगा; हिंदू! Shame on you @Dev_Fadnavis !

This is a rubbish agenda picked by Maha gov and will back fire in the long term. And not a good precedent set. Instead focus on law and order so that incident like stone pelting during Hindu festival can be avoided, Nashik TCS can be avoided.

Everyone who lives in Mumbai knows basic Marathi , no need to create unnecessary panic . There are better things to do. Clean the filth of the city .

Divide and Fool India.....You are promoting language based discrimination of non-marathi speaking peoples....

Whole BJP is following their true ideology learned from their former boss, Britishers.... Divide and Rule

Simple:

BJP is dividing in name of language. They already divided people in name of caste. But Batenge to Karenge ? Muslims reject Marathi yet that is no problem for BJP . BJP has problem with Hindi not Urdu

This is not right did not expect this from him . Language politics is not what we need today . Sad we voted for this …

bruh this was not a big issue its just destroying the pr or mumbai and maharastra focus on fixing the roads, improving the drainage n fast-tracking the delays on metro lines

@Dev_Fadnavis this will back fire on BJP in Uttar Pradesh election keep that in mind. You are doing this in competition to the failed Thackeray twins. Go after jehadis more aggressively in Mumbai otherwise you will face a disaster in 4 years time

When im in a language war competition and my rivals are marathis and tamilians

Police is teaching them Marathi. 🫣

At centre- sing 6 stanzas of Vande Mataram mandatorily for country's unity. In states - divide Indians on: Caste - UGC, ST/SC tighter provisions Language - marathi vs non marathi BJP is trying so hard that people don't vote them in elections. Fine then Abki baar, antim sanskar

खरंच मराठी भाषेसाठी काही ठोस आणि अर्थपूर्ण करायचं असेल, तर मा. मुख्यमंत्री महोदय, महाराष्ट्रातील ग्रामीण भागातील सरकारी शाळांची मूलभूत पायाभूत सुविधा आणि शिक्षणाचा दर्जा सुधारण्यापासून सुरुवात का करू नये? त्यामुळे मराठीची मुळे अधिक मजबूत होतील — आपल्या मुलांना चांगलं शिक्षण मिळेल आणि मराठी भाषा त्यांच्या भविष्याचा एक जिवंत, अभिमानास्पद आणि सक्षम भाग राहील. पण आम्हाला समजतं. त्यासाठी दूरदृष्टी, गुंतवणूक आणि मेहनत लागते. त्यापेक्षा गरीब भारतीय स्थलांतरितांवर राजकीय ताकद दाखवणं सोपं आहे, नाही का? मराठीचं रक्षण म्हणजे महाराष्ट्रीयांना सक्षम करणं आपल्या देशबांधवांना धमकावणं नव्हे.

Shame on a BJP CM. But yeah politics makes you pussy. From inclusion to sending them back, @Dev_Fadnavis @bjpmaha came a long way.
