Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray criticized the BJP government over climate activist Sonam Wangchuk's arrest, comparing the ruling party to an "amoeba" that changes alliances at will. During his Dussehra rally address, Thackeray defended Wangchuk as a patriot who was detained after advocating for Ladakh's rights, arguing that seeking justice is increasingly being treated as treason in India. He also addressed Maharashtra politics, promised anti-corruption measures following BMC elections, and demanded assistance for flood-affected farmers.
