The Congress leader Nana Patole targeted Amitabh Bachchan and Akshay Kumar for not speaking about the hike in fuel prices. Patole claimed that these actors used to speak about fuel price when the government at the center was led by Congress.
Now the government has beefed up a security outside Amitabh Bachchan's house. One of the official was quoted by Times of India, "It is a temporary measure, as a precaution."
Maharashtra Congress President Nana Patole a few days back targeted superstar Amitabh Bachchan and superstar Akshay Kumar for silence on rising prices of petrol and diesel. He has raised the question that when fuel prices had increased during the Manmohan Singh government, these actors had criticized it on social media a lot. He has also described the Modi government of the Center as a dictator during his statement.
He had also accused these stars of not supporting the farmers' issues during the press conference. He asked why Big B and Akshay are silent on the issue of farmers? In the coming time, neither these actors' films will be shot in Maharashtra nor will their films be released.
Following this, Patole received lots of criticism on social media and from the BJP leaders. ANI quoted Patole who said, "I didn't speak against Akshay Kumar and Amitabh Bachchan but against their work. They're not real heroes. If they were, they would've stood beside people during their sufferings. If they want to continue being 'kagaz ke sher', then we don't have any problem."
