In a significant political development, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray appear to be inching closer to a renewed alliance. Following the successful public campaign against the state government's move to impose Hindi language in schools, both leaders have issued a joint letter, inviting the people of Maharashtra to celebrate the victory.
This is the first time the two estranged Thackeray cousins have issued a leaflet together, marking what many see as a symbolic thaw in their political relationship. The letter reads: "This victory is not ours, but yours. So come and play, come and shower flowers. We are waiting..."
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut shared the letter on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, further fueling speculation about a possible political realignment between the two parties. The gesture has sparked widespread interest across the state, with political observers and citizens alike asking the same question: "Is this the beginning of a new alliance between Raj and Uddhav Thackeray?"
While there has been no official confirmation about a formal coalition, the tone and timing of the letter indicate a strategic convergence—especially after their united stand against the controversial Hindi language directive.
With the political landscape in Maharashtra evolving rapidly ahead of upcoming elections, this joint outreach may mark a turning point in state politics. Citizens and analysts now wait eagerly to see whether this symbolic gesture leads to a substantial political alliance in the near future.
