Mumbai :- In a significant political development, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray held a meeting with Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Wednesday, sparking speculation about potential realignments in the state’s political landscape.
The meeting, which took place at Shinde’s official residence in Mumbai, has raised eyebrows given the historical rivalry between the Thackeray family and the Shinde faction of Shiv Sena. Political analysts suggest the discussion could hint at a new alliance or a strategic understanding ahead of upcoming elections.
While neither leader disclosed details of the talks, sources indicate that issues such as Marathi pride, urban development, and opposition strategies may have been discussed. Raj Thackeray, known for his strong stance on regional identity, has previously been critical of both Shiv Sena factions.
The BJP, part of the ruling coalition with Shinde’s Shiv Sena, has remained silent on the meeting. Meanwhile, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT) has dismissed the talks as “political opportunism.”
As Maharashtra gears up for local body polls and the 2024 general elections, this unexpected engagement between two key players could signal shifting dynamics in the state’s politics.
