Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray convened a joint press conference on Tuesday to reveal the particulars of their October 4 rally against the Election Commission.

Raj Thackeray announced that the march would commence from Richardson Cruddas in Byculla at 10 am and conclude at the BMC headquarters near Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus around 11 to 11:30 am. He emphasized that the rally would be apolitical, with all political parties welcome to participate. Members of parties in the ruling alliance were also encouraged to join.

The Thackeray cousins highlighted that this fight was not just about political parties but also about the general public, urging them to participate in large numbers. Raj asserted that the demonstration aimed to safeguard the Constitution and democracy, and further protests would likely emerge from their side or others, depending on the situation.

Uddhav Thackeray confirmed that Shiv Sena (UBT) would wholeheartedly support the CJP's October 2 protest.
