The alliance between Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray is almost finalized before the BMC elections 2026. It was learned from sources that Thackeray brothers are going to announce their coming together through a press conference on Wednesday, 24th December. However, now there is talk of putting brakes on this alliance by Raj Thackeray’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), due to which the political temperature has become high in the opposition alliance party.

In fact, MNS’s stance is that the alliance should not be announced until seat sharing is complete and a final decision is taken from both sides.

Talks on seats are still going on

Actually, MNS soldiers are curious about when the alliance between Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena UBT and Raj Thackeray’s MNS will be announced. However, since the final talks on seat sharing are still going on and consensus has not yet been reached on some seats, there is talk of some delay in the announcement of the alliance.

Alliance should be announced only after resolving differences- MNS

Sources say that talks are still going on between the two sides on some seats. Wherever there are differences, efforts are being made to resolve them. Therefore, MNS has taken the stand that the alliance will not be announced until these differences are resolved.

Where is the disagreement between the Thackeray brothers?

According to the information received so far through sources, discussion is going on in MVA on Amrathi departments of Mumbai. Talks are going on as to what should be done in the Amrathi departments of Mumbai like Ghatkopar, Kandivali, Borivali, Mulund. At the same time, till now Raj Thackeray’s MNS has been given 65-70 seats. At the same time, Uddhav Thackeray is expected to have 145 to 150 seats. Apart from this, Sharad Pawar’s NCP SP may get 10-12 seats.

Political activities have intensified regarding BMC elections in Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra. Meanwhile, on Sunday (November 23), Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) President Raj Thackeray warned Marathi speaking people. He said that if Marathi speaking people are not cautious then the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections may prove to be the last elections for them.

While addressing the inaugural ceremony of MNS Konkan Mahotsav here, Raj Thackeray appealed to the party workers to remain alert. In a brief message, the MNS chief said, “Maintain your vigilance, otherwise loss is certain. If you are not alert, the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) election will be the last election for Marathi people. And its consequences will be far-reaching.”

He said that once Mumbai is out of our hands, we will not be able to do anything. If Mumbai goes out of our hands, these people will create havoc, Raj Thackeray attacked the ruling parties without naming them. Raj Thackeray had raised the issue of discrepancies in the voter list and had recently participated in a joint march taken out by the opposition.

‘Keep an eye on the voter list’

Raj Thackeray also said that do not be careless, check the voter list, keep an eye on your surroundings. The way politics is going, keep an eye on the voter list. It is important to keep your attention on whether the voter is real or fake. He also said that the upcoming Mumbai Municipal Corporation election will be the last election of the Marathi people. Raj Thackeray said, if we remain careless then it will go out of our hands.

Claim of irregularities in voter list

Local body elections are currently going on in the state, and municipal elections are likely to be held immediately after the City Council and Nagar Panchayat elections. Meanwhile, the opposition is continuously making serious allegations against the Election Commission, claiming that there are irregularities in the voter list.

The political temperature in Maharashtra has become high regarding the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections (BMC Election) and all the political parties have started preparations to make their place. There has also been news of the Thackeray brothers coming together before the BMC elections. It is believed that Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray are going to contest the elections together with each other this time. However, Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) ally Congress had clearly opposed it.

In such a situation, the question now arises whether Raj Thackeray will be allowed to contest elections by joining Mahavikas Aghadi? However, now it has been clearly stated by the Congress that the Congress will contest the Municipal Corporation elections on its own. This means that the opposition coalition party MVA will break.

Vijay Wadettiwar’s claim – Congress will contest elections alone

This has been announced by senior Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar. Vijay Wadettiwar said that the world’s largest municipal corporation is Mumbai. Our Mumbai Municipal Corporation leaders have decided that we will fight independently. Therefore, the question does not arise as to how many seats have to be left for whom. Wadettiwar has been clearly told that this decision has been taken at the local level after discussion with the Congress high command.

On one hand, there seems to be a rift in the India alliance amid Bihar elections. Due to lack of consensus on seats, Hemant Soren’s Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has decided to separate from the alliance and fight alone. It is believed that this may also affect the India alliance in Jharkhand. At the same time, now in the third state i.e. Maharashtra also the opposition alliance seems to be fading.

On one hand, Uddhav Thackeray is trying to include his brother Raj Thackeray in Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA), while on the other hand, Congress is planning to end this alliance. In fact, before the Maharashtra civic elections, Congress leader Bhai Jagtap has announced that the party can contest alone.

‘There will be no alliance with Uddhav Thackeray’- Bhai Jagtap

Congress leader Bhai Jagtap has also given a big statement. Talking to ABP News, he said that Congress will not join hands with Raj Thackeray and will not contest elections in alliance with Uddhav Thackeray. Bhai Jagtap has clearly said – “You are not going with Uddhav Thackeray. Forget about Raj Thackeray.”

‘Congress will not go with Raj Thackeray at all’- Varsha Gaikwad

Apart from this, amid speculations about Raj Thackeray joining Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA), Mumbai Congress President Varsha Gaikwad, without taking the name of Raj Thackeray’s party, said, “We will not go with those who do not believe in the Constitution and the law.”

Varsha Gaikwad further said, “Crackers are being burst in Diwali but some people are trying to burst crackers in politics but the crackers turned out to be chaff. We are ready to burst bombs and people will support it.” Regarding Raj Thackeray, the Congress leader said that we will not go with those who do not believe in the Constitution of the country.

In Mumbai, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena president Raj Thackeray on Sunday (October 12) visited Matoshree, the residence of his cousin and Shiv Sena (Ubhata) chief Uddhav Thackeray. This is the second time in a week that Raj Thackeray has reached Matoshree.

When asked by journalists about the purpose of this meeting, Raj Thackeray said, ‘My mother is with me.’ He was indicating that this is a family reunion. However, this meeting comes amid speculations about the two cousins ​​coming together for the important Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections.

On Sunday, Raj Thackeray along with his family reached Uddhav Thackeray’s Matoshree residence. This makes it clear that the relationship between Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray is getting stronger.

Meanwhile, discussions are going on about the MNS-Thackeray Sena alliance for the elections of local self-rule institutions.
