Mumbai: The Shiv Sena (UBT) faction sparked political speculation after sharing a social media post suggesting a possible alliance with Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). The post, which has since gone viral, led to strong reactions from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
The social media post hinted at a potential political realignment in Maharashtra ahead of upcoming elections. While Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders have not officially confirmed any alliance talks, the post fueled discussions about opposition unity against the BJP-led coalition in the state.
BJP leaders criticized the move, calling it a “desperate attempt” by opposition parties to consolidate power. Maharashtra BJP spokesperson said, “Such opportunistic alliances expose their lack of ideology and commitment to the people.”
Meanwhile, MNS has not yet issued an official statement on the matter. Political analysts suggest that any alliance between Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS could reshape Maharashtra’s political landscape.
More details awaited as reactions pour in.
