Raj Thackeray warns migrants from UP and Bihar: 'I'll kick you' if Hindi imposed

Mumbai (The Uttam Hindu): Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray has once again made a statement regarding migrants from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. He addressed a rally with his cousin Uddhav Thackeray, warning against the Hindi language and Marathi identity.

Raj Thackeray said that if those who have come from other states try to impose pressure on the Marathi language and Maharashtra's land, he will "kick them out." He stressed that Marathi and Maharashtra residents must be aware of their rights and identity. He said, "People from UP and Bihar should understand that Hindi is not your language. If any attempt is made to impose it, the consequences will be dire. This is the last election for Marathi people; now is the time to unite."

Raj also instructed party workers to be vigilant and follow the rules. He said that workers deployed at 6 a.m. should be ready and take strict action against any irregular activity.

Uddhav Thackeray's statement

At the rally, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray accused the BJP of divisive politics ahead of the elections. He questioned whether the BJP wants to change Mumbai's name to 'Bombay' and cited a statement by Tamil Nadu BJP leader Annamalai. Uddhav said, "The BJP's Hindutva and nationalism are fake. This party now prioritizes corruption instead of putting the nation first."
