Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis criticized Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, stating their political focus is limited to the Mumbai civic body (BMC) and accusing them of seeking control for corruption. Fadnavis defended the BJP's Marathi support, challenged the Thackeray brothers' Marathi identity claims, and condemned hostility towards North Indians. He also alleged vote-bank politics and selective outrage from the Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS leaders.
