Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has strongly condemned the BJP and the Eknath Shinde-led faction for what he perceives as the theft of his party’s name and symbol. He expressed his deep concern over the Election Commission’s decision, arguing that the “Thackeray” name represents more than just a political brand.

Thackeray: A Legacy Beyond Politics?

Thackeray emphasized the connection between the Thackeray name, Maharashtra’s identity, and Hindu pride. He framed the appropriation of his party’s name as an attack on these core values. He appealed to the public, questioning the motives behind the move and highlighting the potential implications for Maharashtra’s political landscape.
