Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, in a veiled reference to Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, said he thought Uddhav's joint rally with Raj Thackeray was a "vijay utsav" but it was "rudali (professional mourner) darshan". Fadnavis stated nobody talked about Marathi at the event. Notably, Uddhav and Raj came together for the first time in 20 years.
