Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray launched a Navaratri song that makes a political statement ahead of the Assembly elections. He promised the BJP and Shinde Sena a strong response to their allegations, at the annual Dussehra rally at Shivaji Park.

“Navaratri is about celebrating Jagadamba who exterminated the asuras. This is a song for the lawlessness that we see today. The song prays that Jagdamba hands a mashal to the women for the purpose of destroying evil,” he said, adding that it was a political song that commented on the current situation.
