Thackeray’s comment comes after several Bihar legislators, belonging to Lalu’s party, demanded Governor R S Gavai be sent back to Maharashtra. Thackeray’s remarks appeared in the editorial of Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamna’ on Monday.

The editorial titled Chara Kha, Maharashtrala Apshakun Karu Naka, loosely translated as “Eat fodder but do not malign Maharashtra.”
