Overview

  • Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray has expressed willingness to reconcile with cousin Raj Thackeray, contingent on Raj severing ties with the BJP and Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena faction.
  • An editorial in Saamana, Shiv Sena (UBT)’s mouthpiece, emphasized the importance of Marathi unity and accused the BJP of attempting to divide the Marathi-speaking community.
  • Raj Thackeray has instructed MNS leaders not to comment on the potential alliance until his return from abroad on April 30, following mixed reactions from MNS cadres.
  • Shinde-aligned leaders dismissed the potential alliance as politically motivated, arguing it would not significantly impact Maharashtra’s political dynamics.
  • The cousins’ discussions are framed around protecting the legacy of Bal Thackeray and the interests of the Marathi population ahead of pivotal municipal elections.
