'We'll beat them up': MNS warns Hindi-speaking auto drivers, takes shot at CM

MNS leader Amit Thackeray has warned of action against auto-rickshaw drivers in Maharashtra who speak Hindi or behave rudely.He also questioned the state government’s decision to extend the deadline for a Marathi language requirement."If it comes to our notice that someone (an auto-rickshaw driver) is speaking in Hindi or behaving rudely, then we will beat them. Don’t tell people that they have to speak UP’s language or that they have to speak Hindi. We will speak in Marathi,” he said.Thackeray also criticised Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis over the extension, alleging that the decision was linked to the upcoming Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.“We have understood how much affection you (Devendra Fadnavis) have for the Marathi language and for our state. You go to Gujarat, you go to Punjab, you go to the South.
