Overview

  • Uddhav Thackeray has publicly stated his openness to reuniting with cousin Raj Thackeray, provided Raj severs ties with the BJP and Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena.
  • Raj Thackeray has instructed Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leaders to refrain from commenting on the potential alliance until his return from abroad on April 30.
  • An editorial in Saamana, the Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece, emphasized that the BJP's alleged strategy to divide Marathi unity has hurt Maharashtra's interests.
  • Second-tier MNS leaders have voiced skepticism about the potential reconciliation, questioning Uddhav's past actions and the feasibility of an alliance.
  • Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders, including Sanjay Raut, have reaffirmed their support for the reconciliation, calling it essential for the future of Maharashtra and Marathi solidarity.
