‘Fadnavis did what Balasaheb could not’: Raj Thackeray's ironic jab at Maharashtra CM during joint rally with Uddhav
- Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray reunited after nearly 20 years at a joint rally in Mumbai on July 5, 2025, celebrating the rollback of the three-language policy.
- Their reunion came in the wake of strong public resistance to the state government's April 16 directive requiring students to learn Hindi as a third language, a mandate that was eventually withdrawn on June 17.
- At the rally titled 'Awaj Marathicha,' Raj Thackeray criticized Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, accusing him of uniting the cousins and warning that the policy could separate Mumbai from Maharashtra.
- Raj remarked that Chief Minister Fadnavis succeeded in uniting him and Uddhav, something Balasaheb Thackeray was unable to accomplish, and asserted that while Fadnavis holds authority in the Vidhan Bhavan, their influence remains strong among the people on the streets.
- This development points to a shifting political landscape before the 2024 municipal elections, reflecting increased solidarity around Marathi identity and the likelihood of a partnership between the Thackeray groups.
