Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) leader and former Maharastra minister Aaditya Thackeray met Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal at latter's residence in Delhi on Sunday and discussed current political developments. Kejriwal took to Twitter and posted pictures of his meeting with Thackeray. "I got an opportunity to host Aaditya Thackeray at my residence today. I held a detailed conversation with him on the current political developments", the AAP national convenor tweeted. Shiv Sena MP Priyanka Chaturvedi and AAP MP Sanjay Singh were also present in the meeting along with Aditya Thackeray. 

This meeting came a day after Congress registered a thumping victory in Karnataka. Congress won an absolute majority in Karnataka on Saturday with the party crossing the halfway mark of 113 seats in the 224-member assembly. Congress has won 135 seats and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has won 66 seats. Janata Dal-Secular (JDS) has won 19 seats. Independents have won two seats while Kalyana Rajya Pragathi Paksha and Sarvodaya Karnataka Paksha have won one seat each. 

Earlier in the day, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut (UBT) reacted on Karnataka election results and said that the state showed that people can defeat dictatorship and asked where the riots are that Amit Shah was claiming would occur if Congress comes to power. Raut said, “Karnataka has shown that people can defeat dictatorship. Congress won which means Bajrang Bali is with Congress and not BJP. Our Home Minister (Amit Shah) was saying that if BJP loses, there will be riots. Karnataka is calm and happy. Where are the riots?.”  The Uddhav Thackery faction leader said that ‘our wave is coming’ and that there is no ‘Modi wave’ now. 

“The Modi wave is over and now our wave is coming across the country. Our preparation for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections has started and today a meeting has been called under the chairmanship of Sharad Pawar, we will discuss the 2024 elections in this meeting and start preparing for it,” Raut said, as quoted by ANI.
