The BJP leader said that Uddhav Thackeray will have to find his identity. I am sure that the people of Maharashtra will soon take away the arrogance that has come in him. Thackeray had said that Anil Deshmukh, who was the Home Minister in the Maha Vikas Aghadi government, had told me that Devendra Fadnavis is plotting to send me and my son Aditya to jail. Till now I have tolerated a lot. But now I challenge that either Fadnavis will remain in Maharashtra politics, or I will remain.
Targeting the leaders of the other faction of Shiv Sena, Uddhav said that whoever wants to go, go, do not betray while staying in the party, I will win the battle with the Shiv Sainiks. Thackeray said, they broke my party and my family. Now they are challenging us. Shiv Sena (UBT) is not a rusty sword but a sharp sword. Even if we have to struggle to save Mumbai, we will not step back, we will get the rights of Mumbai and its people.
