Ahead of the upcoming Maharashtra elections 2024, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray has asked if the call for "dharma-yudh of votes" given by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis adheres to the model code of conduct of the Election Commission, reported news agency PTI.

Addressing a campaign rally in Dombivli town of Thane district ahead of the Maharashtra elections 2024, Thackeray on Saturday said he was asked to remove the words "Jai Bhavani, Jai Shivaji" from his party's election anthem before the Lok Sabha elections earlier this year, but he refused to do so, reported PTI.
