If anything happens, Uddhav Thackeray will be held responsible. MP Navneet Rana said, “Our objective was to overcome the crisis.” Uddhav Thackeray sent thugs to our house. Shiv Sena is over. The real Shiv Sainiks kept going with Balasaheb. Now Shiv Sena is left with only thugs. The only job of the Chief Minister is to decide who should be prosecuted, who should be imprisoned and who should be deported. The Chief Minister does not pay attention to the suicides of farmers. The problem of electricity, remains silent on unemployment. Our purpose was fulfilled. We will not perform outside ‘Matoshri’.
