Uddhav Thackeray

“I will not tolerate killing of trees in the dead of the night.”

“Some people derive pleasure in constructive work while some are happy in destruction.”

“I follow the Hindutva of my father and grandfather.”

“Power is not just about the chair. The public is power.”

“My belief is that if there are any lacunas in the GST, it should be fixed quickly to make it a foolproof system.”

“I take guidance regularly from NCP chief Sharad Pawar Saheb and occasionally speak Soniaji Gandhi.”

“Balasaheb Thackeray's teachings have been that defeat is better than false promises.”

“There is no end to vendetta politics.”

“Covid is not dying because of overcrowding. In fact, is going to grow.”

“It seems the BJP desperately needs to win Mumbai to stand on its feet once again. After all, the greed to win Mumbai will continue to remain, no matter how many States you win.”

“I had a soft corner about 'the' original BJP of Atal Bihari Vajpayee and L.K. Advani's... It also had leaders like Pramod Mahajan, Gopinath Munde. The leaders had some ideology and thoughts.”

“It is true that the Thackerays have never fought elections. But we have never backed out from responsibilities.”

“It is not important to have a big chest. But you should have a heart in your chest.”

“If the state requires a bullet train, I would demand a bullet train to connect Mumbai and Nagpur.”

“I know this government is running in a three-wheeler like an autorickshaw, but for the poor people the steering is in my hand and the other two are sitting behind supporting.”

“I am finding out how parties with different ideologies forged alliances with the BJP. I want to question BJP on ideology - how they came together with Nitish Kumar, Paswan, PDP and Naidu.”

“The BJP broke its alliance with us as they were hungry for power. They wanted to rule the state like they are ruling the country, after getting a majority in Lok Sabha elections. They thought they can divide Maharashtra if they are in power with a majority here. But the Sena will never let that happen.”

“Making personal attacks or speaking with malicious intention is something that I have always refrained from.”
