In a fierce retort to Union Home Minister Amit Shah's comments about the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief following the party's defeat in the 2024 Maharashtra Assembly elections, Uddhav Thackeray issued a strong warning, stating that the BJP leader would soon witness the power of an "injured tiger."

Shah had previously remarked that the results of the recent Maharashtra elections would show Uddhav Thackeray his rightful place. Thackeray, addressing a public meeting on the occasion of Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray's birth anniversary, firmly hit back. He stated, "Amit Shah said that these elections will show Uddhav Thackeray his place. Okay, Amit Shah ji! You will see what an injured tiger and his claws can do. Don’t mess with the 'Marathi Manus.' We made Aurangzeb kneel; who is Amit Shah?"
