Shiv Sena (UBT) head Uddhav Thackeray and his estranged cousin, MNS chief Raj Thackeray met at a wedding function in Mumbai, raising speculation of a fresh coalition ahead of civic polls in Maharashtra.

They were seen together at the wedding of a government official's son in the Andheri area in Mumbai. Raj Thackeray met the former state chief minister and his wife Rashmi Thackeray. This comes amid rumours of a rift in both the ruling Mahayuti and the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) camps.

This was the third public meeting between the cousins in the last two months, further intensifying speculation of a thaw in ties between the two parties.

As per PTI, political observers said there is a possibility of the MNS and Sena (UBT) wishing to resolve their political differences in view of the civic body elections, including the cash-rich Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, due in the state. The schedule for the civic polls has not yet been announced.

Raj Thackeray quit the undivided Shiv Sena in 2005 and floated his own party the next year. In last year's elections to the 288-member Maharashtra assembly, the Shiv Sena (UBT) won 20 seats in coalition with MVA, while the MNS drew a blank.
