Breaking News: Thackeray Brothers Unite After 20 Years-Will New Equations Reshape Maharashtra Politics?
For the first time in 20 years, Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray are set to share a stage, reviving the powerful Thackeray brand in Maharashtra politics. The much-anticipated “Vijay Rally” at NSCI Dome in Worli has been organized as a show of unity and strength, especially following the reversal of a controversial state resolution. Originally planned as a protest march, the event has transformed into a grand celebration of Marathi identity. Thousands of MNS and Shiv Sena (UBT) supporters from Pune, Nashik, and Palghar are arriving for the event, which is seen as an emotional and strategic move amid declining political fortunes for both leaders. While Uddhav leads a faction with limited electoral gains post-split, Raj Thackeray currently holds no MLA or MP post. The shared stage is both symbolic and potentially impactful, particularly in consolidating the Marathi vote. Political observers suggest this could be a precursor to a larger alliance, though practical differences remain unresolved. Leaders like Supriya Sule (NCP-SP), Prakash Reddy (CPM), and others will also attend, reinforcing a broader anti-BJP front. Whether this Thackeray unity translates into electoral strength remains uncertain—but it has certainly reignited political interest across the state.
