Raj Thackeray Revives 'Hatao Lungi' Slogan, Targets Tamilians Ahead of 2026 BMC Polls | India Today

A political firestorm has erupted ahead of the 2026 BMC polls, with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Chief Raj Thackeray at the centre of a controversy for targeting Tamilians. In a Mumbai rally, Thackeray revived an old divisive slogan, stating, 'Hatao lungi, bajao pungi,' a call interpreted as inciting violence against South Indians. His remarks were aimed at BJP leader K. Annamalai, whom he mockingly called 'Rasmalai' after Annamalai described Mumbai as a 'global city' rather than just belonging to Maharashtra. The incident is being condemned as a dangerous attempt to stir regional chauvinism and identity politics for electoral gain. In response, Annamalai has stated he will not be intimidated and will continue to visit Mumbai, while the BJP claims his original comments were twisted for political purposes. #RajThackeray #Annamalai #BMCelections #itwebvideos #Mumbai #Maharashtra #HateSpeech #IdentityPolitics #MNS #BJP #HataoLungiBajaoPungi #Tamilians #SouthIndians #MumbaiPolitics #IndiaToday #News Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
