वंदनीय हिंदुहृदयसम्राट शिवसेनाप्रमुख बाळासाहेब ठाकरे यांचे स्वप्न आज पूर्ण झाले असून हा स्वप्नपूर्तीचा क्षण असल्याची भावना यावेळी व्यक्त केली. आज बाकी लोकं या सोहळ्यावर बहिष्कार घालत असले तरीही ते जिथे कुठे असतील तिथून हा सोहळा नक्की डोळे भरून पहात असतील अशी भावना यावेळी व्यक्त… pic.twitter.com/3EOkvXd0xY
