Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray reached out to the people of the Thane district and appealed for votes. The former Maharashtra chief minister made his appeal to a gathering at a programme organised by the Jain community in the suburban area of the district, regarded as a stronghold of the Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
“You people said that you could give me your blood. But I don’t want your blood. Give me your votes. We will see the rest.” said Uddhav Thackeray. He also said that he was not an ‘atithi’ (guest) but a part of their family.
