Five years after Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray launched the party’s “Me Mumbaikar” campaign which ran into trouble following the attack on job-seekers from other states by members of the Bharatiya Vidyarthi Sena, then headed by cousin Raj Thackeray, the party is going full throttle at wooing the non-Marathi speaking population of the metropolis.

“If you are born and brought up in Mumbai, why consider yourself outsiders?” Uddhav asked a gathering of North Indians at a public meeting at Goregaon on Sunday.

“North Indians are Indians and we can work together. We can unite as Hindus,” he said.

Uddhav even felicitated Bhojpuri actor Manoj Tiwari on the occasion, pointing out that the Sena required the support of North Indians to win in Delhi.
