Ahead of Uddhav and Raj Thackeray's 'Victory Rally', MNS leader Sandeep Deshpande said, “It's a historical day...because after 1956...this is the first time that all 'Marathi Manush' (Marathi people) will be assembling today." He said the crowd would mark a celebration of victory as the government was "forced to take back imposition of Hindi". "It's a huge victory," he added.
