- Thackeray accused the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation of unchecked corruption and described concrete problems in the Chakan industrial belt such as poor roads, irregular garbage pickup, power cuts and water shortfalls that push firms to consider leaving.
- He alleged widespread phone tapping and hacking of opposition leaders, some ruling-party figures and journalists, and argued surveillance tools should target terrorists rather than political opponents.
- Thackeray declined to comment on a possible Shiv Sena merger, received a warm reception from party workers in Hadapsar, and signalled further protests and voter mobilisation that could raise pressure on the state government.
