Raj Thackeray Admits MNS's Poor BMC Polls Show, Vows Continued Fight for Marathi Manoos

  • MNS chief Raj Thackeray acknowledged the party's below-par performance in the recent BMC elections.
  • He described the BMC elections as a battle between "Shiv Shakti and money power" in a post on X.
  • Thackeray urged party workers not to be discouraged and lauded efforts of both MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) workers.
  • The MNS secured only six seats, while Shiv Sena (UBT) won 65 seats in the 227-member civic body.
  • Thackeray reaffirmed his commitment to fighting for the Marathi manoos, language, and Marathi "asmita".

Why It Matters: Raj Thackeray admits MNS's BMC poll defeat but pledges to continue advocating for Marathi identity.
