Uddhav Thackeray links statue installation to Shiv Sena’s struggle

Thackeray credited the local Lok Adhikar Samiti for navigating the difficult approval process at the Airport Services Limited entrance. He described the ordeal as a symptom of the current political environment, contrasting the reverence for the Maratha king with the administrative resistance encountered by his supporters. The former Chief Minister utilized the event to rally his base, warning that perceived political traitors would soon be swept away by a public backlash.

Beyond the specific installation, Thackeray characterized the incident as a litmus test for the party’s historical mission. He urged his followers to maintain an active stance against injustice, asserting that the organization was founded specifically to champion the concerns of the Marathi people. According to Thackeray, the persistence required to erect the statue mirrors the ongoing effort needed to secure public rights across the state.
