As the civic polls in Maharashtra is nearing, there are speculations of a patch-up amid estranged cousins Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray.
Notedly,.Uddhav’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) partners are all for Raj Thackeray’s MNS joining their ranks.
Supriya Sule says? she welcomes the decision. They are a family and part of Balasaheb’s huge legacy. And If that legacy continues with them coming together, it will be a happy moment. Supriya Sule is MP from the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party (SCP).
She added, the more partners come, the better it will be for Maha Vikas Aghadi.
They will work together for Maharashtra. The strength will increase.
In 2006,.Raj Thackeray split from the then undivided Shiv Sena to form the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). Meanwhile, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT) has been on the outs after the MVA coalition government he led collapsed in 2022. Both parties are looking to stage a comeback in the upcoming Maharashtra civic polls.
Even as Uddhav Thackeray did not deny reports of a possible reunion, he went on to add that the wishes of the people of Maharashtra of Maharashtra will happen.
The former Maharashtra CM also stated that there was “no confusion” among party workers over the matter and teased that he will soon share good news.
As per Congress’ Maharashtra unit chief Harshvardhan Sapkal MNS would be welcomed into the MVA fold, but conditions apply.
Raj Thackeray works against BJP to protect democracy and the Constitution, then it can be ⁴⁴ about. If someone takes the role of being committed to protecting democracy and Constitution, then there can be a consideration to take him in the alliance.
However, Amit Thackeray, son of Raj Thackeray and a rising face in MNS, said that alliances do not happen by making statements before the media and the two leaders need to speak one-on-one to bury the hatchet for good.
Adding Alliances do not happen while talking in the media. They have each other’s mobile numbers, they can talk to each other
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis of the BJP distanced himself from the speculation, saying he has no say in the matter. “It is for Raj Thackeray to react to Uddhav Thackeray’s comments… They will decide whether to have an alliance or not.
In April, both Thackeray cousins had hinted at reunion expressing willingness to set aside differences for the greater good of Maharashtra — though Uddhav made it clear that Raj must steer clear of aligning with the BJP or Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena.
