In this exclusive interview, Shiv Sena (UBT) President Uddhav Thackeray discusses the high-stakes battle for the Mumbai Mahanagar Palika and 29 other municipal corporations in Maharashtra. Thackeray addresses the significant political realignment, specifically his alliance with Raj Thackeray after 20 years, stating, ‘Mumbai Maharashtra ko aisi kisi ne di nahi thi jaise aaj Adani ko di ja rahi hai’ (Mumbai was not gifted to Maharashtra like it is being given to Adani today). He emphasizes the Thackeray legacy rooted in the Samyukta Maharashtra movement led by his grandfather, Prabodhankar Thackeray. The former Chief Minister levels serious allegations of ‘vote theft’ against the BJP and criticises the misuse of central agencies like the Enforcement Directorate. He further defends the ‘Mumbai Model’ of governance during the pandemic and asserts that the fight is for the rights of ‘Marathi Manoos’ and the integrity of the state against those he terms the ‘Shah Sena’. The programme explores the shifting dynamics of Maharashtra politics ahead of the crucial municipal polls.
