Earlier, Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief clarified that his party is not against the Hindi language but accused certain groups of comparing Marathi people to terrorists and undermining Marathi identity.

The meeting came a day after the Maharashtra Chief Minister took a veiled dig at Uddhav Thackeray, inviting him to join the treasury benches (ruling side) in the Vidhan Parishad, stating that his government doesn’t have any “scope” to come into Opposition until 2029.

‘Uddhav Ji can think about the scope of coming to ruling party’

Fadnavis was speaking on the occasion of Uddhav Thackeray’s farewell from the Maharashtra Vidhan Parishad.

“At least till 2029, there is no scope for us to come there (Opposition). Uddhav Ji can think about the scope of coming to this side (ruling party) and that can be thought about in a different way, but there is absolutely no scope left for us to come there (Opposition),” Fadnavis said.
