Uddhav cribbed about losing power, Raj's statement absurd: Maharashtra minister's swipe at joint rally
The Statesman Kolkata
|July 07, 2025
Maharashtra minister Ashish Shelar dismissed the speeches of Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and MNS chief Raj Thackeray during their joint rally on Saturday as irrelevant, diversionary and vague.
Speaking to reporters on Sunday, the Mumbai BJP chief also took a swipe at the Thackeray brothers for trying to hard sell their own agenda and narrative under the premise of opposing 'imposition' of Hindi language in the state.
"Thackeray brothers boasted and bragged about their coming together for the Marathi pride, but the real purpose was to sell their own narrative and further their own political agenda," Ashish Shelar said.
He added that the speeches of the two leaders at the joint rally were more of political posturing than substance.
