The Maharashtra chief minister, the first Thackeray to serve the state in such a capacity, has been lauded on various social media platforms for the way he is handling the COVID-19 situation despite the state having a high number of positive cases.
Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said that lifting of lockdown in the state after April 14 will depend upon the compliance by people to the government directives, two days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi hinted at a "staggered exit" from the curbs. In a webcast, the CM also warned of strict action against those who spread communally divisive messages on social media amidst rising cases of COVID-19 in various states.
A small virus like Corona is testing us. How can we take the name of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj if we surrender to it? Maharashtra is the land of the braves, warriors and the saints. We will never fall short when it comes to putting up a fight. We will fight and win! pic.twitter.com/ka2I66Q7Mt
