Uddhav Thackeray had on Wednesday said that Maharashtra's lost glory would be restored if the INDIA block of opposition parties came to power
Speaking at a Lok Sabha elections 2024 campaign rally for his party's candidate from Nashik Lok Sabha seat, Rajabhau Waje, he also promised farmers guaranteed Minimum Support Price for agricultural produce, and scrapping of GST on farm inputs
Maharashtra gave Prime Minister Narendra Modi more than 40 MPs in 2014 and 2019 elections, but got nothing in return, Thackeray alleged
Modi and Amit Shah were the masterminds of the "conspiracy to finish off Shiv Sena", Thackeray had on Wednesday alleged
Uddhav had also lashed out at the Union government for banning onion exports earlier. "Now, the ban has been lifted, but export duty has been imposed," Thackeray pointed out"Now, the ban has been lifted, but export duty has been imposed," Thackeray pointed out
He also criticised the prime minister for not visiting Manipur since ethnic strife began in the north-eastern state last year, and campaigning for JD (S) leader Prajwal Revanna who is caught up in a sex abuse scandal
"You promised two crore jobs. Where are those jobs? Some Gujaratis deny Marathi people entry. Shall we bear it? ASHA workers are not getting their honorarium for months. There are no health facilities, jobs, no money to farmers and no crop loans. I promise to regain the lost glory of Maharashtra after coming to power. I also promise farmers MSP for crops. I will cancel the GST on fertilizers, seeds when an INDIA government comes to power at the Centre," he said
