BJP MLA from Kandivali East Constituency Atul Bhatkhalkar slammed Maharashtra government over not reopening temples in the state.
He said that Ramleela can be celebrated in large grounds by maintaining COVID-19 norms and CM Thakeray is giving permission to reopen restaurants and bars but not temple.
Shiv Sena Spokesperson Pratap Sarnaik backed the Government's decision.
He said that BJP leaders, who are demanding reopening of temples, are raising the issue just to take sympathy of people.
But BJP leaders should respect the decision of Chief Minister Thackeray.
