A Shiv Sena leader questioned the BJP's 'Namo Thane' banners, suggesting they appear only near elections and lack images of Balasaheb Thackeray and Anand Dighe. He argued that Thane's identity is tied to Shiv Sena and that local elections will focus on the Thackeray brand, not the 'Namo' brand, as voters are aware of the city's issues.
