MNS declares unconditional support to Mahayuti: Raj Thackeray flays Sharad Pawar over caste-based politics, praises nephew Ajit

The MNS has announced unconditional support to Mahayuti and is not contesting LS elections, instead it is holding election rallies for Mahayuti candidates, which include NCP led by Ajit Pawar.

Applauding PM Narendra Modi for building the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, MNS chief Raj Thackeray on Friday urged all Hindu communities to vote for candidates of BJP, Sena and NCP in LS elections.

“The construction of Ram Madir was possible only due to PM Narendra Modi,” Thackeray said at an election rally for BJP candidate Murlidhar Mohol for the Pune seat.

It is learnt that religious leaders of Muslim community are issuing a diktat to their people to vote for Congress, Sena (UBT) and NCP (SP) candidates, the MNS chief said. “If they are giving such a diktat, then today I am issuing a diktat to all Hindus to vote for BJP, Shinde led Sena and Ajit Pawar led NCP.”

Thackeray said politics being played out in the country has stooped so low that even leaders are using abusive language in election speeches.

“Even though the city has good educational facilities and job opportunities, youths are leaving the country. The only reason is the dreadful atmosphere created by politicians,” he said. It was the responsibility of elected representatives to keep the atmosphere positive in the country, Thackeray said, adding that the focus should be on planning development of cities.
