Raj Thackeray visited his cousin Uddhav Thackeray's home in Mumbai. This was his second Sunday visit in a row. The meeting sparked talks of a possible alliance between their parties for upcoming civic polls. Raj's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) could be crucial for Uddhav's Shiv Sena (UBT) in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections. MNS polled more votes than the winning margin in 67 of 227 wards in the 2024 Assembly polls. The party's strength lies in Mumbai's Marathi-speaking areas. An alliance could help consolidate the Marathi vote for Uddhav. To check if the parties have formed an alliance, voters can visit their official websites or social media pages.
