Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday launched a scathing attack against his former ally BJP, saying that hunger for power was like "drug addiction" and challenging it to topple his coalition government which will soon complete two years. Stating that the BJP had not understood either Veer Savarkar or Mahatma Gandhi, Thackeray, speaking at his party Shiv Sena's annual Dussehra rally at Shanmukhanand Hall here, said he was proud of his Hindutva ideology but as chief minister he treated every citizen equally.
