"Heartfelt greetings on Marathi Bhasha Gaurav Din. On this occasion, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena is organizing a grand book exhibition at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Ground in Mumbai. This book exhibition will span four days, that is, until March 2, 2025. All renowned publishers from Maharashtra are bringing their books to this exhibition. This is the largest book exhibition showcasing Marathi literature," Raj Thackeray said in a post on X.
"After the inauguration of this exhibition, some distinguished personalities will recite a Marathi poem of their choice. Today’s ceremony will be broadcast live on social media and news channels. However, I request all Marathi-speaking brothers and sisters living in Mumbai and its surrounding areas to please visit this book exhibition. They say, “If you read, you will thrive,” and this is true. The more we read our language, the more enriching literature will continue to be created in it, and new ideas will keep emerging. So, do visit the book exhibition. I’m looking forward to it," he said.
