Sanjay Raut On Thackeray Bandhu Yuti : The discussions in political circles about the possible alliance between Shiv Sena and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena are now getting official confirmation. Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, while speaking at a press conference, gave clear indications that the announcement of the alliance between Shiv Sena and MNS will be made 100 percent, and it will be done together, with great fanfare and celebration.
When asked if a specific auspicious time has been set for the alliance, Sanjay Raut said, “No such special time has been decided. However, this is a new and important political experiment, which I had clarified yesterday.” He stated that both parties under the leadership of Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray are coming together, and the decision to contest the upcoming elections jointly is almost in the final stage.
Sanjay Raut clarified that this alliance will not be limited to Mumbai alone. Shiv Sena and MNS will also contest elections together in important cities like Thane, Mira-Bhayander, Kalyan-Dombivli, and Nashik. “Detailed discussions between the office bearers of both parties have been completed in all these places, and the final decision will be made today,” he noted.
Meanwhile, responding to the criticism that this alliance is being viewed as a 'drama', Sanjay Raut gave a strong rebuttal. “This is not a theatrical experiment. If someone is calling it a drama, they should understand that this is not a drama, but a confluence of love for the people of Maharashtra. And the people of Maharashtra will participate in this confluence of love,” he said.
This time, they indirectly criticized the ruling party based on the results of the recently concluded municipal and town council elections. “The results announced yesterday were a different kind of drama. Just as some plays sell out at the box office, in some plays, the owner himself buys the tickets and performs in front of an empty theater,” they remarked.
“Yesterday's show was not at all houseful. Tickets were bought and distributed by spending a huge amount of money. The people of Maharashtra are well aware of who spent crores of rupees for the municipal and town council elections,” said Sanjay Raut. He also noted that helicopters were chartered for campaigning in the local self-government elections.
Overall, against the backdrop of the Shiv Sena-MNS alliance, Sanjay Raut's statement has accelerated new developments in Maharashtra's politics, and the entire state is now focused on this 'new experiment' in the coming period.
