Raj thackeray and uddhav thackeray: The political distance of twenty years and such an intimacy of sharing the stage suddenly as if nothing has happened. Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray, who used to reject each other’s politics from the public platform till yesterday, are now rally on stage under the flag of Marathi Asmita. The occasion was the protest against the state government’s three language policy, but the chemistry on the stage showed more electoral sentiments than the language.
Marathi victory day or ‘political reunion day’?
The rally was named Marathi victory day, but this day made political analysts more excited. It is as if two separate characters of an old TV serial are now going to come together in a spinoff show. On stage, Raj and Uddhav talked about injustice to Marathi language, but the glimpse of BMC election was clearly visible in the eyes.
Three Language Policy: Reason Short, Drama Big
Original dispute? When the government thought of giving Hindi more attention in educational institutions, Marathi politics woke up. Thackeray brothers wake up, wrote a letter, appealed to the public, rally … and the government “postponed” the order. The Thackeray brothers immediately described it as the victory of the people, as if the government had scared and kneels. But experts say that there are two different things to put and cancel the policy in the file.
Josh in speeches, but what signs?
Uddhav Thackeray said that he was not against Hindi, but it would not be imposed, both balance and strategy in words were clear. Raj Thackeray’s style was a little more ‘Marathi spicy’ “is a dictatorship, a conspiracy to erase Marathi.” Both of them talked about fighting for Marathi, but someone should ask why for the first time in 20 years, if such a brotherhood gathered, the answer will come from the stage, not from the stage.
Elections ‘trailer’ or return rehearsal?
BJP immediately taunted: BMC is a call for elections, brother is also looking brother. The Congress kept distance from the stage, as if she too is not taking this political mail much serially. Talking about Raj Thackeray’s political graph, now the “no seat” gap of 2024 has reached the 2024 gap from the height of 2009. At the same time, Uddhav Thackeray has suffered a setback in Shiv Sena’s name, election symbol and organization. In such a situation, brother-brother together is now preparing to play Marathi card again.
Old relationships in politics, new benefits
Sharing the stage of Thackeray brothers can be a slogan of Marathi pride, but it is also a sign of political insecurity that is emerging in rapidly changing mass base. Relationships in politics are not always “permanent” today enemies, tomorrow can become a partner to share stage … and public? He knows when the slogan is, and when ‘drama’!
