A battle of videos has broken out between Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena, with both claiming the legacy of Bal Thackeray.

Shiv Sena has hit out at Raj Thackeray by sharing a video of the party founder Bal Thackeray in which he is seen taking a veiled jibe at the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief.

This comes soon after Raj Thackeray shared a video of Bal Thackeray wherein he is seen speaking against the use of loudspeakers. Raj Thackeray has warned that the MNS workers will play Hanuman Chalisa on loudspeakers.

The loudspeaker row in the state broke out after the MNS chief issued an ultimatum to the state government to remove the loudspeakers from the mosques by May 3.

Following the end of the deadline, the Mumbai Police seized loudspeakers from the MNS office and detained the party’s Chandivali unit president Mahendra Bhanushali and others on Tuesday.

Meanwhile , In a veiled attack on Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray, Mumbai mayor Kishori Pednekar on Wednesday said he has “heartburn” as his cousin and Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray became the Maharashtra chief minister.

Without naming the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena president, Pednekar said he was bad-mouthing his cousin the same way he was earlier doing against the Bharatiya Janata Party.
