He denied that these issues were the results of communal polarization and vote-bank politics.
Responding to another question, he said that he had called for “nationalist forces” to effectively compete with the role of “anarchist forces” during the Lok Sabha elections. “In a democracy, we are used to fight political parties, not anarchist forces.
Saying that help was sought from nationalist forces, such as the Nationalist Swammavak Union (RSS), he said: “Yes, RSS is a nationalist organization. And others are also.”

Placing the police on Tuesday to arrest a 19 -year -old student on a social media post during Operation Sindoor in Bombay High Court, Fadnavis said that his government would follow the court orders. “But I want to tell that when the operation vermilion was running, if someone writes against the army, it naturally provokes strong emotions. Therefore, the police took action accordingly. But if there is any additional action in our part, the courts reprimanded the courts… If we are erased, we will improve,” they said.
