On the day of Mahatma Gandhi's 150th birth anniversary, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray took potshots at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP president Amit Shah through a cartoon.
This is not the first time that Raj Thackeray has taken a dig at the prime minister and the BJP chief. In fact, the Modi-Shah duo seems to be Raj's favourite target as he has taken them on over several issues through cartoons.
