In a veiled attack to the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, comprising three-alliance party of Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP, MNS chief Raj Thackeray expressed its resentment over no action on banning loudspeakers at religious places.
On the other hand, on Thursday, April 28, Raj Thackeray praised Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for removing loudspeakers from all religious places in that state. He also prayed at the feet of Goddess Jagdambadevi and expressed hope that good sense would prevail even in Maharashtra.

Taking it to Twitter, Thackeray shared: "I wholeheartedly congratulate and stand grateful to the Yogi govt for having removed loudspeakers from religious places, sepcifically the masjids. Unfortunately, in Maharashtra we don’t have any 'yogis'; what we have are 'bhogis' (hedonists/selfish). Here's hoping and praying sense prevails".

Earlier this month, the MNS chief had launched a campaign to impose a blanket ban on loudspeakers from mosques in the state by May 3, or his activists would blare out Hanuman Chalisa at double volumes there.
After these statements, a huge political row raged between the Maharashtra and Central government as MVA firmly rejected his demands and lobbed the ball in Centre’s court. In accordance to that, the state also made it clear to all religious places of worship to strictly adhere to the Supreme Court norms on decibel levels for using loudspeakers failing which they would face action.
