Maharashtra: Controversial posters targeting Uddhav Thackeray emerge in Thane ahead of rally

Ahead of Uddhav Thackeray's rally in Thane this evening, posters targeting the Shiv Sena (UBT) leader have emerged, showing him bowing at the feet of Congress leaders Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, and Rahul Gandhi. The posters also depict Sanjay Raut and Aaditya Thackeray standing in the background.

Message on the posters  

The posters carry a Marathi caption, which roughly translates to, "I bow down at your feet...I will worship your feet." This has sparked controversy ahead of Thackeray’s first public address in Maharashtra after his three-day visit to Delhi.
