Maharashtra Politics: Thackeray Brothers’ Show of Unity Spells Trouble for BJP And NCP in Maharashtra | ABP NEWS

In a historic and emotional moment for Maharashtra politics, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray appeared together on one stage after a 20-year rift, rekindling hopes of unity in the Thackeray family and reshaping the state’s political narrative. The event, held under the banner of Marathi pride and identity, was described by both leaders as a non-political platform — yet its symbolic weight was unmistakable. Supporters from both factions, Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS, gathered in large numbers, celebrating what many called a “Marathi renaissance.” The stage had just two chairs — one each for the Thackeray brothers — framed by the map of Maharashtra, a powerful visual indicating unity and shared vision. Observers say this could pose a formidable challenge to the current ruling alliance of BJP, Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar’s NCP. With BMC elections around the corner, this public show of unity could significantly alter voter sentiments, especially among Marathi-speaking citizens. Whether this symbolic truce evolves into a lasting political alliance remains to be seen. But for now, July 5, 2025, marks the day Maharashtra witnessed the revival of the Thackeray legacy.
