Maithili Thakur Urges Unity in Vasai-Virar
Maithili Thakur, a famous singer and MLA from Bihar, visited Vasai-Virar in Maharashtra to campaign for the upcoming civic elections.
She spoke about how some politicians are trying to create divisions between people who speak different languages, like Hindi and Marathi.
Thakur said this is very sad and that people should focus on making their area better instead.
She also said she feels connected to Maharashtra because she has been learning Marathi and singing Marathi songs for years.
She warned that people should not be misled by small differences and should work together for development.
The BJP is trying to get the support of people who have moved to Maharashtra from other states like Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.
Maithili Thakur, a Bihar MLA and singer, campaigned in Vasai-Virar for the 2026 civic elections.
