In a significant political development, Sanjay Shirsat, a Shiv Sena cabinet member, proposed that Raj Thackeray join the BJP-led Mahayuti coalition. This suggestion arose after Thackeray met with Maharashtra's Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, on Thursday morning.
The meeting, held at a luxury hotel, has stirred political corridors with talks of a potential alliance between the BJP and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) as the civic polls approach. The encounter also comes amidst rumors of a reconciliation between Raj and his cousin Uddhav Thackeray, leader of the opposition Shiv Sena (UBT).
Shirsat emphasized the unpredictable nature of politics. He remarked on the strategic importance of alliances, noting a previous offer extended to Raj Thackeray. Meanwhile, the Shiv Sena (UBT) cautiously responded to the meeting, with leader Kishori Pednekar urging patience, given the strong support for a coalition among grassroots workers.
