Respected Shri Uddhavji Saheb,
Jai Maharashtra !
Sub:ShivSena(UBT) should not form an alliance with MNS Chief Shri.Raj Thackeray, who is running an agenda against Non- Marathi people & Muslims in Maharashtra.
Respected Shri Uddhav ji,
I am farm activist who has given his whole life for uoliftment of suicideprone cotton farmers who are facing genocide due wrong polices of state and I was appointed by BJP-SS Govt. as chairman of special taskforce specially created to curb on going coton farmers genocide in maharashtra and as CM you have taken my services too but as a Shiv Sena loylity and & spokeperson for the last several years of your party ,I was sacked for the post which of minister of state rank by existing chief minister but,I have been canvassing on all fronts everywhere with full loyalty and honesty, even after many odds . I have openly supported to you what I did not agree with, and I have also had to suffer the adverse consequences, but without any fear of it, I am performing my duty selflessly presenting the side of Shiv Sena on all fronts everywhere with full strength, without any fear of any consequences. You have always appreciated this.For the last 30 years, as farm activist attached to grassroot movement, I have spent my entire life in the service of poor farmers, agricultural laborers, tribals and minorities and for the same reasons, you gave me the opportunity to work tieing a Shiv Bandhan on my hand and the responsibilities shoulder upon me, I am fulfilling with full loyalty, of which you are the witness & all time admirer !
The prime reason, as to why I am writing this open letter to you today is that it has been reported by Media thst our Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena led by Shri. Raj Thackeray is going to form an alliance in the backdrop of the municipal and local body elections tobe contested together. I am writing this letter to you to appraise you to know how this alliance is going to be disastrous for our Shiv Sena in the coming time and how it can cause immense damage to the prospects our Shivsena and other constituents of MVA in long run !
You are well aware of the fact that entire country knows, for the last several years, that the Chief of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena, Shri Raj Saheb Thackeray, has been continuously making statements against Hindi speaking non-marathi and other langustic minorities and Muslim citizens residing peacefully in Maharashtra by promoting linguistic~provincialism, due to which more than three crore fifty lakh Hindi speaking and other minority language speaking, Muslim~Dalit people of the state, mainly residing in the ten municipal corporetion areas of Mumbai and Mumbai Metro Region Areas, are openly opposing this alliance of our Shiv Sena(UBT)~MNS.
You are well aware that Our Shiv Sena is today a major component of the Maha Vikas Aghadi~India Bloc and our alliance achieved a huge success in the last 2024 Lok Sabha elections. Even in the Assembly Elections, the majority number of twenty MLAs elected by our Shiv Sena, out of which victory of Ten MLAs elected in Mumbai Region, has been possible only because of the substantial voter turnout of langustic minority Hindi ~ Muslim~Dalit and OBC voters who all voted for SS & Maha Vikas Aghadi. But now since on one hand MNS chief Shri Raj Saheb Thackeray is constantly making statements against Hindi speaking , other langustic minority and Muslim citizens out of hatred for these people , on the other hand , he is forging alliance with SS, there has been immense despair among the voters of the Maha Vikas Aghadi.Today, the majority of Hindi speaking and other langustic minorities, Muslim ~ Dalit people residing mainly in the entire state and ten municipal areas near Mumbai are openly opposing this alliance of our Shiv Sena. This will affect the prospects of our Shiv Sena as well as the entire Maha Vikas Aghadi and this is a matter of great concern. As a solider of Shiv Sena, I am writing this letter to you, considering it my duty to present this fact to you in a timely manner.
You are aware that the Hindi and other langustic minorities , Muslim and Dalit voters, who are the main backbone of the Maha Vikas Aghadi-India Bloc, are upset by the continuous statements made by MNS chief Shri Raj Thackeray against Hindi and other langustic minority citizens in the Maharashtra for the past many years and are extremely angry today due to the attacks on them and the degrading & humiliating treatment they are being given by MNS activities, benefiting the BJP alliance out of this. To stop this unfortunate situation, the decision to join hands with MNS chief Shri Raj Thackeray should be reconsidered, it is the need of the hour. Because the great opportunity that Maha Vikas Aghadi and our Shiv Sena have got in the local body elections in the state should not be lost by the statements of Shri Raj Saheb Thackeray against Hindi speaking and Muslims, it is extremely important to take timely precautions and measures to control huge damage being caused.
For this, I request you to take effective steps to stop the continuous statements against Hindi and other langustic minorities and Muslim citizens and take timely measures so that the these big chung voters, who are the main backbone of Mahavikas Aghadi~India Bloc, are not alienated by these constant statements and attacks on them by MNS leader Raj Thackeray, including the degrading~insulting treatment given to them, due to which even activists like me is now constrained to think of moving away from our Shiv Sena.
Therefore, the alliance that our Shiv Sena is forming with MNS chief Raj Thackeray, has made many Shiv Sainiks like me upset. Because it has become necessary to understand that the action taken by keeping the elections in front of our eyes by promoting linguistic~provincialism is going to be destructive for the harmony & national intrest .
Hence this open letter to reconsider the alliance with MNS.
It is my considered feeling that there should be an open discussion on this.
So eagerly awaiting yours words ....
Yours Sincerely,
Kishore Tiwari
