Raj, Uddhav Thackeray lead morcha in Mumbai against CEC
State leaders of Congress and the Sharad Pawar-led NCP (SP) also participated in the morcha, which began from the Metro Cinema and will traverse the short distance to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation headquarters in south Mumbai
Uddhav Thackeray, leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT), and Raj Thackeray, chief of the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), spearheaded a protest march in Mumbai on October 4, 2026. The demonstration, known as the Virat Garjana Morcha (Grand Roar March), aimed to voice opposition against Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar. Other state leaders, including the Congress and Sharad Pawar-led NCP, also took part in the rally.
The march commenced from Metro Cinema and proceeded to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation headquarters in the southern part of Mumbai. The protesters, adhering to strict guidelines, were prohibited from carrying party flags and were instead urged to display the national tricolour. This demonstration occurred two days after the Cockroach Janta Party organized a similar protest, the 'Jail Bharo Andolan,' at Mumbai's Shivaji Park.
