Uddhav Thackeray, a cousin of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray met at a wedding ceremony in Mumbai. After this, speculations have intensified that the political differences between the two will be resolved before the upcoming Municipal Corporation elections in Maharashtra.
The two brothers, politically isolated, were seen together at the wedding ceremony of the son of government official Mahendra Kalyar in Andheri area on Sunday evening. During the wedding ceremony, Raj Thackeray met former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and his wife Rashmi Thackeray.
Will they be seen together in BMC elections?
Political analysts believe that MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) will resolve their differences in view of the upcoming Municipal Corporation elections, especially the economically prosperous Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections.
Election dates have not been announced.
It is worth noting that the dates of the municipal elections have not been announced yet. This was the third time in the last two months when both brothers met in public, causing speculation that the relationship between the two sides was improving.
Shiv Sena left in 2005
It is noteworthy that Raj Thackeray left the Shiv Sena in 2005 (the then integrated) Shiv Sena and formed his party under the name Maharashtra Navnirman Sena the following year. This was part of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance in the Maharashtra assembly elections last year. It is known that Shiv Sena (UBT) won 20 seats in the Maharashtra assembly elections, while MNS did not get a single seat.
