Thackeray cousins Raj and Uddhav have demanded that elections be held on a ballot paper and postpone municipal corporation and other elections till the state election commission rectifies the anomalies in the electoral list. 

Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray, during the meeting with the State Election Commission (SEC), suggested that the authority should inform the Supreme Court (SC) about problems in the electoral rolls and ask for time before announcing the election schedule. “For five years, the elections for local bodies were not held. What difference would it make? How does it matter now if the elections are delayed by another couple of months?” Raj said.
