Mumbai, April 19: In a significant development, estranged cousins Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray on Saturday signalled a willingness to set aside their past differences and unite for the larger cause of protecting Maharashtra슬롯사이트™s interests and preserving the Marathi language. Uddhav Thackeray, who leads the Shiv Sena (UBT), and Raj Thackeray, founder of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), voiced strong opposition to the MahaYuti government슬롯사이트™s decision to make Hindi a compulsory subject from Classes 1 to 5 in Marathi and English-medium schools.

Both leaders, speaking on separate platforms, suggested they were open to collaboration on issues crucial to the state슬롯사이트™s identity and culture -- particularly at a time when Marathi has been granted classical language status by the BJP-led central government. In an interview with actor-director Mahesh Manjrekar, Raj Thackeray said, 슬롯사이트œThe disputes and fights between Uddhav and me are minor -- Maharashtra is much bigger than all that. These differences are proving costly for the existence of Maharashtra and the Marathi people.슬롯사이트슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜No Love for Any Community슬롯사이트™: Uddhav Thackeray Alleges After Waqf Law, BJP Eying Land of Christians, Jains, Buddhists and Hindu Temples for Their 슬롯사이트˜Friends슬롯사이트™.

He added, 슬롯사이트œComing together is not difficult, it슬롯사이트™s a matter of will. It슬롯사이트™s not just about my desire or selfishness. We need to look at the bigger picture. All Marathi people across political parties should unite and form a single party.슬롯사이트 Raj Thackeray further distinguished his past political decisions from the rebellion led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. 슬롯사이트œI left Shiv Sena when MLAs and MPs were with me. Even then, I chose to walk alone because I couldn't work under anyone except Balasaheb Thackeray. I had no objection to working with Uddhav. The question is -- does the other side have the will to work with me?슬롯사이트 슬롯사이트œIf Maharashtra wants us to come together, let Maharashtra speak up. I don슬롯사이트™t let my ego get in the way of such matters,슬롯사이트 he said.

Responding at a Bhartiya Kamgar Sena function, Uddhav Thackeray expressed similar sentiments. 슬롯사이트œI슬롯사이트™m ready to put aside petty disputes. I appeal to all Marathi people to unite in the interest of Maharashtra. But there is a condition -- when we pointed out in Parliament that industries were being shifted to Gujarat, if we had united then, we could have formed a government that worked for Maharashtra. We cannot keep switching sides -- supporting them one day, opposing them the next, and then compromising again.슬롯사이트슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray To Reunite?

슬롯사이트œAnyone who acts against Maharashtra슬롯사이트™s interests -- I will not welcome them, invite them home, or sit with them. Let this be clear first, and then let us work together for Maharashtra,슬롯사이트 he asserted. MNS general secretary Sandeep Deshpande welcomed the tone of reconciliation but posed a key question -- 슬롯사이트œRaj Thackeray rightly asked -- does the other party truly want to come together? Until that is clear, the conversation is incomplete. We all want what슬롯사이트™s best for Maharashtra. But do others feel the same way?슬롯사이트

Echoing the sentiment, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader and Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council, Ambadas Danve said, 슬롯사이트œAs a Marathi manoos, it슬롯사이트™s important for all forces to unite. Whether it is Uddhav or Raj, both are brothers. The political context may differ, but at the end of the day, the bond remains. There are many who are willing to mediate in this matter.슬롯사이트
