What did you say about Congress?

The speculations that had been going on for several months came to an end
It is noteworthy that putting an end to the speculations that had been going on for months, both the brothers announced the alliance. In a joint press conference with Raj Thackeray, Uddhav Thackeray said that the two parties have come together to live together. Both of them said that they have united for the interest of ‘Marathi Manush’ and Maharashtra. Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray are cousins.
Uddhav said that his grandfather Prabodhankar Thackeray was a social reformer and writer. He was a prominent figure in the Samyukta Maharashtra movement and his father Bal Thackeray and uncle Shrikant, who was the father of Raj Thackeray, also played important roles in this movement. All of them contributed significantly in ensuring that Mumbai remained a part of the state. However, Raj Thackeray did not share the detailed information about seat sharing between the two parties in the BMC elections.
