Mumbai, May 4: Reacting to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to Karnataka voters to utter the name of ‘Jai Bajrangbali’, Shiv Sena (UBT) President and former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday urged the Marathi voters to invoke ‘Jai Bhavani’ and ‘Jai Shivaji’ while casting their votes.

He said when Balasaheb Thackeray had sought votes in the name of Hindutva in 1987, his voting rights were taken away for six years in 1999 with effect from 1995 by the Election Commission of India (ECI).

“If the country’s PM is promoting Hinduism, then the voting rules may have been changed now… The Marathi-speaking people of Karnataka should say ‘Jai Bhavani’, ‘Jai Shivaji’ and then vote for the candidates of Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES),” Thackeray said.
