The BJP and the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) have locked horns after the state government issued Covid-19 guidelines ahead of Krishna Janmashtami. While the BJP has declared that it will celebrate the festival with full fervour, the MVA government has warned that those breaking the rules will face serious action. In response, BJP leader Ram Kadam said, "We won't listen to any anti-Hindu decision of the Maharashtra government."
