Uddhav Thackeray

Maharashtra minister Ashish Shelar said the attacks on Hindi-speaking people allegedly by MNS workers were disappointing and asserted, "Marathi is not a political issue for us."

Taking a dig at he Thackeray cousins, Amit Malviya — in-charge of BJP's National Information & Technology Dept, said that the joining of hands is driven by desperation.

Worli Dome rally revives hopes of Marathi unity; no formal alliance yet, but political impact likely.

After two decades, Uddhav and Raj on Saturday shared the public stage and hosted a victory gathering, titled 'Awaj Marathicha' in Mumbai's Worli area

The cousins broke up when Bal Thackeray was alive, after he preferred his son Uddhav over Raj for Shiv Sena succession.

The event, dubbed the "Marathi Victory Rally", was held to celebrate the Maharashtra government's rollback of two controversial government resolutions (GRs) that would have introduced Hindi as a third compulsory language in schools from Class 1 to 5.

Several attempts over the past years to get both brothers to reunite in the interest of Maharashtra failed so far. So, what has triggered this recent change of heart?

Mumbai, Apr 19 Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday asserted that his party will not allow making Hindi compulsory in Maharashtra after ..

Thackeray advised his former ally BJP, which is celebrating its 45th Foundation Day on Sunday, to “behave” in a way Lord Ram did.

The Shiv Sena (UBT) chief further said that the BJP should remove the green colour from its party flag "if it disliked Muslims so much".

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, in a social media post, taunted Uddhav Thackeray, saying he would see whether Thackeray respects the thoughts of Bal Thackeray or follows Rahul Gandhi's path of appeasement.

Thackeray criticised the move, and labelling the program as Saugat-e-Satta', accusing the BJP for using the scheme as a gimmick for electoral gains.

Uddhav Thackeray further said that the incumbent BJP-led government should resign over their failure to prevent the clashes in Nagpur that left several injured.

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray asserted that no one should dare speak against national icons and it is the government's responsibility to take strict action.

The stakes are high for the much-awaited civic polls, as they present an opportunity for various political players in the state's politics to consolidate themselves and a second chance for those almost decimated in the recent assembly polls.

The BJP wanted to form an alliance with the MNS before the assembly elections, but its ally Eknath Shinde, head of the rival Shiv Sena and then Maharashtra chief minister, opposed the idea, Raut claimed.

While Delhi will vote in February, Bihar elections are likely in October/November 2025. The elections to the richest civic body in the country, BMC, will also be held in early 2025.

The Shiv Sena (UBT) chief, who is a member of the state legislative council, arrived in Nagpur to attend the ongoing winter session of the state legislature.

Addressing reporters in Maharashtra's Nagpur city, Thackeray demanded a transparent election process before implementation of the 'One Nation One Election' proposal.

Sanjay Raut indicated that Shiv Sena (UBT) was open to discuss if someone outside the Congress should lead the Opposition's INDIA bloc. Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge is at present the chairman of the Opposition grouping.
