This news continued for three-four days. My heart was in pain due to all this. Everybody, the leaders, the administration, court tried a lot to calm down Raj Thackeray, but he refused to agree with anybody. But it is said that the music is such a thing that touches everybody's heart. I have also tried to calm down Thackeray through my songs," said Chotu Chalia, Bhojpuri singer.
