Mumbai: It seems like the degree of dissonance has increased between Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray and PM Narendra Modi. For his son’s upcoming wedding, Raj has invited Congress president Rahul Gandhi but has snubbed the names of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP chief Amit Shah from the list.

Interestingly, veteran BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani has been invited for the January 27th wedding at St Regis hotel in the city’s Lower Parel locality.

Certain reports say the invitee list includes the names of former Congress president Sonia Gandhi, Union ministers Rajnath Singh, Sushma Swaraj, Nitin Gadkari, Prakash Jawdekar, Dharmendra Pradhan and Maneka Gandhi.

To a query on whether he would invite Modi for the wedding, Thackeray in a media briefing last year said: “Does Modi believe in the institution of marriage?”

Raj has been constantly sniping at Modi despite having supported Modi through his statements in the previous elections.

Thackeray’s son Amit is tying the knot with his longtime girlfriend Mitali Borude, the daughter of a renowned physician, Dr Sanjay Borude. Mitali is a fashion designer and has her launched her own label.
