Shiv Sena leader Rahul Shewale criticized the UBT-MNS alliance's manifesto for the BMC elections, calling it visionless and focused on appeasement. He alleged the manifesto repackages unfulfilled 2017 promises and omits key ideological terms like Hindutva and Marathi Manoos, questioning the alliance's commitment to Balasaheb Thackeray's ideals. Shewale also raised concerns about unaddressed issues such as medical college establishment and unauthorized construction regularization.
