Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray coming together for the 'Vijay Rally' in Mumbai has raised concerns among INDIA alliance partners. JD(U) spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad said, "As has been the history of Maharashtra, the coming together of the two brothers is a dangerous signal for the North Indians. The way they have been raising the language issue, the issue of local vs. outsider, they are coming together to gain ground, but one thing is clear that the Marathi people are also not interested in these divisive strategies.
What did JD (U) say?
JD(U) spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan Prasad said that Marathis know how important it is to have knowledge of Hindi, English and local language in today's times. Therefore, no one is going to be misled by them.
What did SP MP Rajiv Rai say?
Samajwadi Party opposed Vijay Rally of Thackeray brothers. Samajwadi Party MP Rajiv Rai said on Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray uniting for the 'Vijay Rally' to be held in Mumbai today, "They can do whatever they want, but if Hindi speaking people are beaten up in any part of the country, it will not be acceptable at all. The country belongs to everyone. Marathi people belong to everyone and also to Maharashtra."
Rai further said, "There are many such forces in the country, which want to break the country, separate it, want to create division. If this starts again, Samajwadi Party will oppose it."
India alliance may soon face challenges
Regarding the controversy over the Hindi language, INDIA alliance parties have described it as a divisive tactic. This clearly indicates that the India alliance may soon face challenges.
On the other hand, from the stage at Worli Dome, Uddhav and Raj Thackeray jointly warned those opposing the Marathi language. Uddhav Thackeray also stated that CM Devendra Fadnavis is the one who brought them together. He remarked that what Balasaheb Thackeray could not accomplish, CM Fadnavis has achieved.
