Maharashtra Politics: Thackeray Brothers’ Grand Entry Marks New Chapter in Maharashtra Politics | ABP NEWS

In a spectacle reminiscent of a cinematic moment, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray made a grand entry from opposite sides of the stage—Uddhav from the right, Raj from the left—meeting at center stage to thunderous applause. The atmosphere echoed that of a Bollywood climax: lights dimmed, mobile flashlights twinkling like stars, and the roar of supporters filling the venue. This powerful moment wasn't just dramatic—it was historic. For the first time in 20 years, the estranged Thackeray brothers came together on a public platform. This reunion fulfilled the late Balasaheb Thackeray’s long-held dream: to see his sons united for the sake of Marathi pride and the Shiv Sena legacy. The timing is politically significant. With Eknath Shinde already in possession of the Shiv Sena’s name and symbol, this show of unity appears to be the Thackeray family’s last-ditch effort to reclaim their political legacy. It also poses a direct challenge to the ruling Mahayuti coalition and particularly Shinde, who has been asserting himself as Balasaheb’s ideological heir. As the brothers stood together, a message rang clear: the legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray is back with the family—and the stage is set for a major political realignment in Maharashtra.
