“Even though I am against the BJP, but, if needed, ready to speak to the party, said Thackeray, necessitating a joint campaign to defeat Sattar.

Addressing a rally, Thackeray said the minister and his family members have grabbed land in Soygaon and Sillod. Attempts were also made to grab some government plots.
