In a significant political development that could reshape Maharashtra’s political landscape, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday expressed his willingness to join forces with his estranged cousin, Raj Thackeray, the leader of Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). This move comes as Maharashtra prepares for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections later this year, fueling speculation about a possible political alliance.Speaking at the 57th annual general meeting of Bharatiya Kamgar Sena, Uddhav Thackeray stated,“ I’m ready to put aside petty disputes. I appeal to all Marathi people to unite in the interest of Maharashtra. But there is a condition — when we pointed out in Parliament that industries were being shifted to Gujarat, if we had united then, we could have formed a government that worked for Maharashtra. We cannot keep switching sides supporting them one day, opposing them the next, and then compromising again.”“Anyone who acts against Maharashtra’s interests — I will not welcome them, invite them home, or sit with them. Let this be clear first, and then let us work together for Maharashtra,” he asserted.
