Mumbai, 09 April (HS). Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) party president Raj Thackeray on Tuesday announced his support to the development works of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Raj Thackeray said that this support is only for the Lok Sabha elections. Also, Raj Thackeray has ordered the workers to prepare for the upcoming assembly. BJP leaders have welcomed this announcement of Raj Thackeray.
Raj Thackeray said that he had met Union Home Minister Amit Shah. After this, discussion started about Lok Sabha seats in the state but they do not want any Lok Sabha seat, they do not even want Rajya Sabha. At this time there is a need for a strong government in the country. Prime Minister Modi is working for development. Therefore, MNS will work unconditionally to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister again in the Lok Sabha.
Raj Thackeray said that he had criticized the Prime Minister in the last Lok Sabha elections. Whereas when he first visited Gujarat in 2014, he had said that Narendra Modi should be the Prime Minister of the country. At that time there was no such discussion even in BJP. Even now they are supporting Modi in the name of Modi, so it does not mean that we will not say anything. When we feel that something is going wrong, we can criticize again.
This announcement of Raj Thackeray has been welcomed by the leaders of Bharatiya Janata Party. Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said that Raj Thackeray has supported the development works of Prime Minister Modi. Its benefit will be in the interest of the country. BJP MLA Praveen Darekar said that MNS has always been a supporter of Hindu interests. This decision of Raj Thackeray will benefit the BJP alliance in Maharashtra.
