Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Monday paid tributes to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj on his Jayanti.  

"Today is the birth anniversary of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the beloved deity of Maharashtra, according to the date. Every year, Maharaj's birth anniversary is celebrated according to the 'tithi' and date. There are also disputes over this. Actually, Maharaj's birth anniversary should be celebrated for 365 days, as Maharaj was such a transcendental man. But to celebrate 365 days means that one should take some lesson from the life of Shivaji Maharaj for 365 days and walk in daily life," he stated in a post on X.
