Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday hailed Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray for spreading the message of “self-respect”, and attended an event to commemorate his seventh death anniversary. This comes just days after the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena ended their alliance, and Fadnavis lost his post, due to their power tussle in Maharashtra after elections last month.

“Respected Balasaheb gave the fundamental message of cultivating self-respect to all of us,” Fadnavis tweeted along with an old video of a speech by Thackeray. In another post, he said: “Salutations to our source of inspiration, Hindu Hriday Samrat Balasaheb Thackeray on his death anniversary.”

Fadnavis attended an event in Shivaji Park in Mumbai to commemorate the death anniversary on Sunday afternoon. BJP leaders Vinod Tawde and Pankaja Munde were also present at the gathering along with members of the Nationalist Congress Party and the Congress, NDTV reported.
