• “They always quiz us what we did for Marathi of us in Mumbai for the period of our rule in BMC. Now we are asking the demand: within the last 11 years of your rule, what beget you accomplished? You beget pushed away Mumbai’s foremost institution to Gujarat. Businesses are being transferred to Gujarat. Big workplaces are going to Gujarat. The diamond industry has already shifted to Gujarat, so you beget made all attempts to destroy the spine of Maharashtra and proceed to have that, and you are asking inquiries to us.”
• “When the BJP says that they need one Constitution, one Image and 1 Prime Minister, then they should undergo in thoughts that one image is the tricolour and no longer the BJP’s flag, which is healthier a fraction of fabric used to neat utensils.”
• “You (BJP) beget used us ample already. If you didn’t beget the toughen of Balasaheb Thackeray, who knew you in Maharashtra. Who are you to coach us about Hindutva? When riots were going down in Mumbai, then we Marathi of us had saved every Hindu in Maharashtra, be it somebody.

Let the particular person beaten up expose that he has been beaten up, you don’t should expose everyone that you just beget got beaten someone.”
• “They are saying that our kids beget learnt in English medium colleges. So what? Dada Bhuse studied in Marathi colleges and modified into a minister. Devendra Fadnavis studied in an English-medium college and modified into the Maharashtra CM. So what? I'd expose you that I studied in a Marathi college, but my father, Shrikant Thackeray, and uncle, Balasaheb Thackeray, studied in an English medium college. Can somebody lift a demand about their admire for Marathi? Day after as of late, I will be taught Hebrew also. Will somebody lift a demand about my pleasure in Marathi?
