MNS President Raj Thackeray Calls for Maharashtra's Unity Amid Political Turmoil

MNS President Raj Thackeray asserted that Shiv Sena and ‘Dhanushya Baan’ do not belong to Uddhav Thackeray or Eknath Shinde, but are properties of Balasaheb Thackeray. Speaking at a public meeting in Dombivli to launch the assembly election campaign, Thackeray also emphasized that the Nationalist Congress Party's clock symbol belongs to Sharad Pawar.

During the event, attended by MNS MLA Raju Patil and candidates for the upcoming elections, including Ulhas Bhoir and Bhagwan Bhalerao, Thackeray criticized the current political scenario in Maharashtra. He stated, “Maharashtra is bigger than any political party, and it is crucial to save it from the prevailing dirty politics”.

Thackeray expressed outrage over a recent incident where a Bhojpuri woman performed on stage at a political event for entertainment, questioning the civility of such acts in Maharashtra.

He stressed the need for political awareness, urging the audience not to be passive voters amid the ongoing chaos. "No one knows who is in Mahayuti and who is in Mahavikas Aghadi. Earlier it was about breaking parties, now it’s about breaking the party system itself," Thackeray noted.

In a passionate plea, he called for the survival of Maharashtra, asserting that without its integrity, the legacy of Chhatrapati cannot be upheld. "Many questions remain unanswered in Maharashtra, yet they are being trivialized. We must stay vigilant for Maharashtra's sake," he urged the crowd.

MNS MLA Raju Patil, in his address, criticized Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and MP Dr. Shrikant Shinde's governance, asserting the need for accountability and transparency in the current political landscape.
