A Political Alliance Announced in Maharashtra ahead of important local body elections, especially the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections in Mumbai.
Shiv Sena (UBT), led by Uddhav Thackeray, and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), led by Raj Thackeray, have decided to join hands for the upcoming Mumbai civic elections scheduled for January 15.
This Alliance is significant because the two parties are led by cousins who were political Rivals for many years. Their coming together shows an effort to unite Marathi voters and strengthen their position in Mumbai politics.
Raj Thackeray said that the Alliance is currently for Mumbai, and a similar decision may be announced later for Nashik. He also made it clear that the Mayor of Mumbai will be a Marathi person from either Shiv Sena (UBT) or MNS. However, details about how many seats each party will contest have not yet been shared.
Uddhav Thackeray said that the Alliance Aims to protect Mumbai and warned Marathi voters that division among them would lead to defeat. He also invited people who are unhappy with the BJP to support this alliance.
Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut called this a historic moment and said that the leadership of the Thackeray family is important for Maharashtra’s future.
This Alliance could have a major impact on Mumbai’s local politics.
