Raj and Uddhav Thackeray appear together at nephew’s wedding (Screenshot)
The wedding of MNS chief Raj Thackeray’s sister’s son took place today in Dadar, Mumbai. Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray attended the wedding together and their bond was evident. Rashmi Thackeray and Raj Thackeray also spoke at the wedding. There was much joy at the wedding of Raj Thackeray’s sister’s son. The two brothers were seen talking to each other for some time. At the same time, there was a stir in the political circles after the Thackeray brothers joined forces. People are making various speculations. In such a situation, the question is will the Thackeray brothers reunite after 18 years?
The agenda of the Raj and Uddhav parties ranged from Marathi Manus to Hindutva issues. Although in recent years, Uddhav’s Shiv Sena has formed an alliance with the Congress party and distanced itself from Hindutva. But the results of the assembly elections held last month went against Uddhav’s party. And Raj Thackeray’s MNS had to content itself with no seats for the first time. At this time, there was a lot of talk about the gathering of the Thackeray brothers. In this context, it is important to see whether these two brothers will stand together against the BJP in the upcoming Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections?
The Thackeray family also attended the family event earlier
Also a few days ago, Raj Thackeray attended Uddhav Thackeray’s family event. Raj Thackeray attended the wedding of Rashmi Thackeray’s nephew and Shridhar Patankar’s son. Rashmi Thackeray welcomed him then. However, during that marriage, the Thackeray brothers did not see each other for some time. On December 22 last year, Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray were seen together on the occasion of the engagement of Raj Thackeray’s nephew. This time, Uddhav Thackeray was also accompanied by his wife Rashmi Thackeray.
Meanwhile, in 2019, the entire family was seen attending the reception of Raj Thackeray’s son Amit Thackeray. After this, they were also seen together today on the occasion of their wedding. Under such circumstances, political activities intensified and the two brothers were able to come together again. All eyes are on the wedding hosted by Raje Shivaji Maharaj Vidyalaya in Dadar…
Can the Thackeray brothers reunite after 18 years?
Both parties are facing an existential crisis after the Maharashtra Assembly elections held this year. Raj Thackeray’s MNS failed to get enough votes to qualify as a party. Shiv Sena, on the other hand, is divided into two parts. Furthermore, the party’s electoral performance was at its lowest level to date. In such a scenario, the question is will the parties of the two brothers with Maratha identity join hands?
After leaving the Shiv Sena party, Raj Thackeray formed his own independent Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) party in 2006. From then until today, for eighteen years, the two brothers have been political rivals. The party led by Uddhav and Raj Thackeray had a disappointing performance in the Maharashtra Assembly elections held last month. In the elections, the Shiv Sena (UBT) contested from 87 seats and ended up winning only 20 seats. But Raj Thackeray’s party failed to win even a single seat. In this election, Raj Thackeray’s party fielded candidates for 128 seats.
UBT MP Sanjay Raut also testified
Shiv Sena UBT’s Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut made it clear that he will meet the two brothers after the Maharashtra election results. When he was asked about the possibility of the two brothers coming together to help prevent the split of the Marathi vote? Commenting on this, Sanjay Raut said: “This is not just a matter of Raj Thackeray or Uddhav Thackeray. All Maharashtrian lovers People from all over the state should come together, even Prakash Ambedkar,” he said. All these parties should remain united for the sake of the Maratha people.

The agenda of both parties is Maratha Manushi and Hindutva. In this context, discussions are heating up about both contesting the upcoming Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections together. A day ago, Shiv Sena UBT leader Sanjay Raut gave a big hint by making a statement about the party contesting the BMC elections alone. He said this was the demand of party workers. He also said that talks are ongoing between Uddhav Thackeray and senior party leaders to contest the BMC elections alone. Under such circumstances, it would be interesting to see whether the two brothers would come together?
