The upcoming BMC and local body elections in Maharashtra are coming near. Political parties are busy making strategies regarding this. Meanwhile, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) is seen in a different color. It is raising the flag of Marathi language, through which the political temperature is rising. MNS chief Raj Thackeray called a meeting of his officials on Monday and gave a direct message to the workers regarding Marathi language. He told them that first of all people should not be beaten, they have to be made understand. If they show arrogance, then the same attitude should be adopted.

Raj Thackeray said about coming together with Uddhav Thackeray, 'If both of us brothers can come together after twenty years, then why are you fighting among yourself? Instead of keeping any dispute between workers and officials, start preparing for the elections. Our party is the strongest in Mumbai. This time the power of Mumbai Municipal Corporation will come in our hands. Leave it to me with whom to form an alliance. Appropriate instructions will be given at the right time.

'Don't make videos'

On the Marathi issue, Raj Thackeray instructed the officials, 'Don't beat anyone without reason, first explain. If they are ready to learn and speak Marathi, then teach them, but if they show arrogance, then adopt the same attitude in future. Don't make videos.' Apart from this, he instructed the workers to work especially on the voter list and start investigation. As part of the preparations for the elections, move forward taking old workers and officials along.

Raj Thackeray has instructed the workers to focus on local problems and work at the grassroots level. He has said that work with full confidence without coming under any pressure. Do not succumb to internal jealousy and factionalism of the party. Welcome the appointment of new officials and work together. End mutual jealousy.
