Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray on Friday met Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at his residence. The reason for the meeting has not been officially stated yet. The meeting has given scope to speculations as state politics continues to dominate national discourse after Ajit Pawar’s switch from the opposition to the government.
The meeting of two leaders comes following the display of banners in Ulhasnagar urging Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray to join forces.
Subhash Hatkar, an MNS functionary, had put up the banners, giving rise to various potential scenarios in Maharashtra politics.
Banners were also put up at several locations in Mumbai.
On Thursday, July 6, a meeting took place between Abhijit Panse, the leader of MNS, and Sanjay Raut, the leader of Shiv Sena (UBT). Since this meeting, discussions in Maharashtra have grown more intense, focusing on the potential political alliance between Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray. Sanjay Raut, a Member of Parliament in the Rajya Sabha, is widely regarded as a trusted aide of Uddhav Thackeray.
