Bal Thackeray is no way a Maratha, although he fought for Marathi and Hindu identity. Just shows how complex things are. Also the PM is OBC for what I know off.

Bal Thackery's family are Chandraseniya Kayastha Prabhu. Isn't that Maratha caste as well?

Absolutely not. That is closer to Brahmin caste than 96k Maratha or Kunbi Maratha that I know off.
