The event was attended by Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS party leaders and hundreds of supporters

In his address, Uddhav Thackeray said that many are trying to erase Thackeray's name but it is not happening

Beginning his speech on a light note, Raj Thackeray narrated an anecdote reflecting the post-election political mood in the state

Raj Thackeray had earlier shared a post on X, expressing his thoughts and emotions in remembrance of Balasaheb Thackeray at the beginning of his birth centenary year

Uddhav alleged that money power was used for first time during civic polls in Maharashtra

Both leaders also paid tribute to Balasaheb Thackeray, remembering his role in Maharashtra politics and his influence on Marathi identity and public life

In a tribute in 'Saamana', the Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece, to mark the Sena patriarch's centenary, Raj Thackeray recalled his deep-seated bond with his uncle, noting that the personal loss of leaving the family home, 'Matoshri', outweighed the consequences of his 2005 exit
