At Uddhav Thackeray’s rally in Palghar’s Boisar, the number of flag holders from the ally’s Communist Party of India (Marxist) outnumbered those from Shiv Sena (UBT). The crowd was roused as Uddhav and all preceding speakers expressed strong opposition to the Vadhvan port.
“Saying ‘Modi parivar’ is not enough. That refers only to him and his chair,” Thackeray remarked. “There are many things to be done here for the people of Palghar, like improving tourism, but instead, they want destructive projects like the Vadhvan port,” he said. Thackeray was campaigning for Bharti Kamdi, his candidate in the constituency.
