										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) stepped up its criticism on Maharashtra&#8217;s Maha Vikas Aghadi government on Monday, asking that why are all restrictions on Hindu festivals being implemented in Maharashtra?</p>
<p>A BJP MLA and chief whip in the Maharashtra Assembly, Ashish Shelar asked that is this administration getting orders from the Taliban? Why are there so many restrictions on Hindu festivities in Maharashtra?” Because of the Covid-19 outbreak, the state administration has outlawed the annual &#8220;Dahi Handi&#8221; celebrations on Janmashtami.</p>
<p>Claiming the Shiv Sena was affecting on its &#8220;Hindutva&#8221; when the Bombay High Court limited the height of human pyramids during Dahi Handi celebrations, claiming it was the same party that raised &#8220;hue and cry&#8221; when the Bombay High Court limited the height of human pyramids during Dahi Handi celebrations.</p>
