Raj Thackeray Urges Maharashtra: "Get Out of Instagram!" Cites Reasons
•MNS President Raj Thackeray appealed to Maharashtra to "get out of Instagram," stating it keeps people distracted from questioning the government.

•He highlighted that mobile phones have become an "organ," with anger now expressed online instead of on the streets, designed to keep people engrossed.
•Thackeray also raised concerns about the state's rising debt (11 lakh crore rupees) and the surge in drug trafficking, even in schools and colleges.
•He announced a new initiative, 'Maharashtra Next... Maharashtra Pudhcha,' a website for citizens to share ideas on the state's future.
