But it will not succeed."
He further added that I am ready to put that in writing it will not end."

He emphasized that surnames do matter, suggesting they carry both historical and political significance.
When questioned about his apparent shift in political direction especially in a time when many are aligning with the BJP Thackeray replied, "What do I see? A prime example is the talk of war. War is not simply about eliminating six terrorists or responding to a terrorist attack. What has happened recently cannot be described as a war."
