MNS Chief Raj Thackeray addressed a mega rally at Shivaji Park in Dadar yesterday, and came down heavily on PM Narendra Modi. He said, "The time has come to throw Modi-Shah out of power." Comparing him to German dictator Adolf Hitler, he asserted that Modi is trying to control everything, from media to business houses the way Hitler used to. "If BJP is voted to power again, then our democracy will be under threat. They might even scrap the elections."

Indirectly supporting Rahul Gandhi as the PM candidate, Thackeray said, "When we say we don't want Modi as the PM, bhakts say there is no alternative. History shows that there has never been a fixed alternative for PM, and all those who became PM, it was based on the time and situation. If Rahul Gandhi becomes PM, then what is wrong?"
