'Should I speak in Hindi or Marathi?': Rajya Sabha nominee Ujjwal Nikam says PM Modi asked him this; recalls both 'laughed'
Sunday, 13 July 2025 () Ujjwal Nikam, renowned special public prosecutor, expressed gratitude for his Rajya Sabha nomination, recounting a personal call from PM Modi. The Prime Minister, after jokingly asking whether to converse in Hindi or Marathi, spoke in Marathi to convey the President's decision.

Prashant Kishor has launched a blistering attack on Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray after his controversial “slap those who don’t speak Marathi” remark. Calling Thackeray a “lumpen element” hiding in Mumbai while targeting poor migrants, Kishor slammed both BJP and Congress for their deafening silence on the issue. In a scathing rebuttal, Kishor reminded Thackeray that Maharashtra doesn’t belong to his father and warned against making heroes out of violent politics. Kishor also exposed the political convenience behind this rhetoric — just ahead of the BMC elections. He demanded Tejashwi Yadav and opposition leaders break their silence and stand up for Hindi-speaking migrants. The issue is rapidly snowb@lling into a national flashpoint on regional identity, governance, and electoral desperation.
