This is the same 25 years in which the man from Mumbai went. You committed corruption in Patra Chaal. We gave a house of 500-600 feet to someone living in 120 feet. We gave houses to the dabbawalas. In 2017, we decided that we will not stay with them. 100 percent power of the metropolis was in their hands and they ran it. He did so much corruption in this that a film could be made on it.

Fadnavis asked where Uddhav, Raj Thackeray have gone till now outside Mumbai? His life is stuck in Mumbai. They only want BMC and corruption. I don’t live in a glass house. He ate money even during Covid. Raj Thackeray has been blaming Uddhav for the last several years.

To find a solution to this, a big decision has also been taken between Shiv Sena and BJP. In fact, senior BJP leaders have assured Eknath Shinde that no leader or worker of his party will join BJP.

Amidst the ongoing rift between Shiv Sena and BJP, this big news is coming that BJP has claimed that no Shiv Sena worker will be included in BJP. There will also be a meeting of senior leaders of Shiv Sena and BJP on this issue in the next two days.

Devendra Fadnavis gave assurance to Eknath Shinde

Both the leaders have assured each other that at the time of elections, the principle of alliance will be followed by both the parties.

BMC election rests on elections

This meeting has taken place at a time when the 2026 Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections are near. BMC is considered to be the mini assembly of Maharashtra politics. Apparently, the Thackeray family can change political equations. Opponents also keep an eye on this meeting.

Came together in July

Significantly, in July this year, Uddhav and Raj Thackeray were seen sharing the stage together after about 20 years. In that rally held in Worli, both of them opposed the decision of the state government to make Hindi mandatory in schools. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had to withdraw this decision due to public pressure and protest.

Raj Thackeray said in the rally that the importance of Maharashtra is more than any kind of politics. After about 20 years, he and Uddhav Thackeray have come together. He also said that Devendra Fadnavis did the work that Balasaheb Thackeray could never do.

This meeting during Ganeshotsav indicates to re -connect family relationships. But how deep its effect in politics will be, it will be clear in the coming time. At present, it is certain that this closeness of the Thackeray family has created a stir in the politics of Maharashtra.

Kalyan-Dombivali Municipality in Thane district of Maharashtra (Kdmc) Has decided to ban the sale of chicken and mutton in the area on 15 August. This decision was strongly opposed by the Hindu Khatik Samaj and Chicken and Mutton Merchants Association. However, despite this protest, KDMC is adamant on its decision.

KDMC is showing a copy of the 1988 order to the protesters and saying that there is a ban on the sale of mutton and chicken, not its intake. In 1988, the then administration issued this order and on 15 August and 26 January every year on two national festivals, chicken and mutton vendors are being given notices to keep their shops closed.

‘If there is opposition, it will be considered’

On the other hand, political parties have been presenting their stand for the last two days, while a memorandum has been given to KDMC by mutton and chicken vendors and Hindu butcher society. On this, KDMC Additional Commissioner Yogesh Godse has said that if there is opposition from the local people, then it will be considered.

KDMC has opposed the decision

The impact of KDMC’s decision is being seen all over the state. Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray party leader Aditya Thackeray, Jitendra Awhad of Nationalist Sharad Pawar faction have aggressively opposed.

Mutton and chicken seller union warns

The Hindu buttime at the local level, the Municipal Society and the Maharashtra State Mutton and the Chicken Vendor Association demanded the withdrawal of the verdict and warned that if the verdict is not withdrawn, mutton and chicken would be sold at the entrance of the municipal corporation. Surprisingly, it is being expressed that despite opposition to this decision of the Municipal Corporation, the Municipal Corporation is adamant on its stand.

Additional Commissioner Godse said that there is a ban on the sale of mutton and chicken. There is no restriction on food. No one should create confusion. This order has been applicable since 1988 and is not a new order. So far no one has opposed it. The orders are changed according to the changing circumstances. If some people insist, they will consider it to take a decision by negotiating with the commissioner on the memorandum.

Raj thackeray on uddhav thackeray: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray expressed his desire to unite for the benefit of Maharashtra and Marathi people by forgetting differences between Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray. During an interview, he spoke openly about Marathi Identity, Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections, Eknath Shinde’s politics and Uddhav Thackeray alliance.

Raj Thackeray said, “Controversies and disagreements between us are much smaller than big issues. Maharashtra is much larger than our personal issues. These cases are very minor in the fight for existence of Marathi identity. It is not a difficult thing to come together or work together. It is only a matter of willpower and it is not only about me. I believe that all the Marathi people of political parties should make a front.

MNS performance in Maharashtra assembly elections

After his statement, many political estimates are being made. It should be assumed that if Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray come together, then they try to understand how much change in the politics of Maharashtra will come together. Raj Thackeray -led MNS had a disappointing performance in the Maharashtra assembly elections. The party was expecting a comeback after a poor performance for the last ten years but reached its low level. After the formation of the party in 2006, for the first time in 2024, the party could not be elected a single MLA in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, even Raj Thackeray’s sons lost the election. The party contested 128 seats across the state, out of which 26 seats were in Mumbai.

In Mumbai, MNS caused the most damage to Eknath Shinde -led Shiv Sena. The Raj Thackeray-led party cut the votes of Shiv Sena-led Shiv Sena on at least seven seats- Vikhroli, Jogeshwari East, Dindoshi, Kalina, Bandra East, Mahim and Worli, Shiv Sena-led Shiv Sena and due to this he suffered a defeat with Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray). MNS stood third on these seats and snatched a large part of the votes.

How much will the political mathematics of Maharashtra change by coming with Thackeray brothers?

If the results of the assembly elections held in Maharashtra were seen, Raj Thackeray’s party MNS performed disappointing. Despite this, the party played an important role in changing the size of the results. It was because of the role of MNS that Uddhav Thackeray’s victory in Mumbai was cleared for the Shiv Sena.

Out of 20 seats won by Uddhav’s army, 10 seats were won by a less than the votes received by MNS candidates. This helped Uddhav Thackeray to maintain his political relevance, especially in Mumbai where a close match was seen in 8 out of 10 seats. In these 8 seats, MNS took away the votes of Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena and helped Uddhav Thackeray.

Raj Thackeray made MNS in 2006

MNS was born in 2006, when Raj revolted against Shiv Sena founder and his uncle Bal Thackeray and went out of the party. His uncle Bala Saheb decided to make his son Uddhav his successor. Raj Thackeray also got success after the formation of the party. In the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, the party fielded 11 candidates and everyone had to face defeat, but in many seats, the Shiv Sena was damaged and caught the attention of the people. In the same year, MNS contested 143 seats in the assembly elections and in his first attempt, 13 MLAs arrived in Maharashtra Legislative Assembly.

However, from this, the fate of MNS reversed and in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the party fielded 10 candidates, all of which were forfeited. In the assembly elections, MNS contested 219 out of 288 seats, bail for 209 seats and won only one seat. Then MNS did not participate in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, but in the Maharashtra elections, it contested 101 seats and once again won only one seat. The party did not get even a seat in the afternoon elections.
