Thackeray & Sons: What happened to Udhav-Raj reunion after 20 years? A ‘Marathi Mano’ Power Play | Bharat News
New Delhi: “What Balasaheb Thackeray could not do, Chief Minister Fadnavis has managed to do it.” This is what Raj Thackeray said that he shared the stage with his cousin Udhav Thackeray after almost twenty years.These two parties came after the MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) – took credit for forcing the Maharashtra government led by Devendra Fadnavis to return their decision to present their decision to present Hindi as a third language in government schools.During the victory rally held in Mumbai, Uddhav also indicated in an alliance with MNS for the upcoming local body elections, especially the Bhanambhi Municipal Corporation elections, are likely to be held later this year.Addressing the gathering, Udhav Thackeray said, “We have come together to live together.”“Ever since we announced the program, everyone was eagerly waiting for our speech today, but in my view, we came together at this level were more important than our speeches. Raj has already given a very excellent speech, and I think I don’t need to speak now,” he said.Earlier, Uddhav had also indicated the possibility of an alliance with Raj, saying, “I am ready to come together (with Raj Thackeray). I am ready to come forward in the interest of Maharashtra, keeping in mind a small incidents. I have ended all the quarrels. I have ended all the quarrels. Maharashtra’s interest is my priority.”Raj Thackeray echoed a similar feeling and said that “it is not difficult to come together” and the difference between cousins ”is proving expensive for the existence of Maharashtra and Marathi people.”
What was led to the reunion of the core
The Fadnavis government issued a government resolution (GR) on 16 April, making Hindi a compulsory third language for students to study in English and Marathi medium schools in classes 1 to 5.Since the announcement, both sides opposed its implementation. The Army (UBT) and MNS indirectly implemented the policy to Hindi. Uddhav said that this decision was similar to the Emergency, while Raj urged the schools not to follow the government order, calling Hindi “anti-Maharashtra activity”.The fierce protest eventually forced the government to withdraw from its decision on 29 June.The government has given academics Dr. Announced the formation of a committee under Narendra Jadhav, so that it could be suggested to oversee the implementation of language policy.The panel has been given three months time to study the issue and prepare a report.The three -language policy is now snowed in a “Marathi identity” crisis, due to which political activists have threatened Hindi speakers in the state.
Upcoming local body election
Many cities including Mumbai in Maharashtra are soon set to go to the elections for local bodies. With the MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) coming together, now there is a better opportunity to stop the BJP’s victory pace jointly than contesting separately.Both SENA (UBT) and MN are “natural partners”. They acquire their political legacy from the Shiv Sena, established by the late Bal Thackeray, which contained Marathi identity. Since then, the emotional issue of Marathi Pride remains central for both sides.Since launching MNS in 2006, Raj Thackeray has overshadowed India’s attitude as his political trademark. Meanwhile, Uddhav has made the story “Marathi Mana” the champion to carry forward his agenda. Both parties performed poorly in the assembly elections held last year. Next to the local body elections, the issue of Marathi identity – through opposition to Hindi – both sides have given fresh energy to ignite Marathi pride among the people.
Maharashtra assembly election
During the assembly elections, both Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS suffered heavy losses. While the Army succeeded in winning only 20 out of 92 seats, in which the election was contested, MNS, fighting alone, there was another big shock, with all the 135 seats lost.Meanwhile, Eknath Shinde, who separated from the Shiv Sena established by Balasaheb Thakere, won 57 seats and formed the government in the alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party.In the Maharashtra assembly elections, the BJP -led Mahayati alliance won a sufficient victory by winning 235 seats in the 288 -member assembly. On the other hand, it was a disappointing show by Maha Vikas Aghdi (MVA), hoping for a grand return. Uddhav’s army got 20 seats, Congress 16 and Sharad Pawar’s NCP secured 10 seats.
