Shiv Sena (UBT) accused the BJP-led Mahayuti government of double standards in responding to crimes against women. The party alleged that outrage over the Nashik IT company controversy involving Muslim employees was disproportionate compared to muted responses to cases involving Hindu godmen Ashok Kharat and Ravindra Erande, who face serious exploitation allegations. The editorial claimed the ruling coalition applies selective Hindutva standards.
