About The Shetty Community Insulted By Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad In Slapgate

New Delhi:

Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Gaikwad has added xenophobia to his barbaric display from three days ago – when he punched a canteen staffer over ‘stale food’ and bragged about it on live TV – after he blamed communities from the southern states for having “defamed” Maharashtra’s culture.

Speaking to NDTV Friday, Gaikwad accused the ‘Shetty community’ – a common surname in the Bunt community that comes from coastal Karnataka – of “playing with our lives for a long time…”

“… my stomach isn’t good. I have been disturbed over it for the last 20 years. The slightest mistake can give me a stomach ache,” he complained to NDTV, “… these Shettys of the south have defamed Maharashtra’s culture, be it in terms of dance bars or ladies bars…”
