Mumbai, July 07, 2025 (ANI): On BJP MP Nishikant Dubey's statement on Marathi langugae row, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray said that BJP has anti-Maharashtra mentality and trying to play divide and rule politics in Maharashtra. "... This is exactly the BJP's mentality, which is anti-Maharashtra. We have asked everyone not to react to such crazy and dirty minds because they want to create fear and instability in Maharashtra. These are the same people who want to create division in Maharashtra, and we will not tolerate this... Divide and rule is part of the BJP's playbook... This is pure politics... This mentality of the BJP's MP represents the entire BJP; this does not represent North India. People from all over the country come to Maharashtra with dreams and hopes... Our fight is against the government, not against any language... Nishikant Dubey is not a representative of North India..." said Aaditya Thackeray.
