Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray launched a scathing attack on the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, accusing them of inconsistency and questionable political alliances. Thackeray highlighted that leaders accused of corruption were not jailed but placed in the state cabinet instead.

Speaking at an MNS rally, he expressed skepticism about the results of the last Maharashtra assembly elections, questioning how the Ajit Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party secured 42 seats after performing poorly in Lok Sabha polls. Additionally, he rebutted criticism over his meetings with BJP leaders, assuring that his Marathi identity remains intact.

Thackeray also cast doubt on specific election outcomes, mentioning unusual voting patterns in key constituencies, and discussed internal changes in the MNS aimed at instilling discipline. On a separate note, he advised the director of an upcoming film to drop a controversial dance scene to avoid unnecessary backlash.
