Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray held a joint rally in Mumbai, appealing for Marathi unity to protect the city's identity and interests ahead of the BMC elections. They accused the BJP of "fake Hindutva," "looting" Mumbai, and attempting to merge it with Gujarat, while also raising concerns about the Adani Group's expansion. Raj Thackeray specifically warned migrants from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar against the "imposition" of Hindi, calling the upcoming polls a decisive moment for the Marathi community.
