Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday addressed the state through on a number of issues. 

He also talked about the stay by the Supreme Court on Maratha reservation. 

"I assure you we will fight for your justice. Even in the last government all four parties worked towards reservation for Marathas and we will fight for it. We have the best of the best of legal counsels and we are fighting this battle now in the Supreme Court. We haven't given up," Mr Thackeray said.

"The government is with you. Then why are you fighting? Why get out on the road? Please refrain from protests due to the pandemic. It is not necessary as the government understands your feelings," he said.

"I even spoke with (Mr) Fadnavis over the phone. He is in Bihar currently and even he has said that we are not interested in politics and we are with you over this," Uddhav Thackeray said.
