Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray are now one. The people of Uddhav’s Shiv Sena and Raj’s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena are now one. The reason for this is that election of BMC, in which about Rs 74 thousand crores are at stake on the victory of the two brothers who have political ambitions because this is the annual budget of BMC. The news of the union of the two brothers has made headlines not only in Maharashtra but also in the country and abroad. But similar headlines were also included on the front pages of newspapers, cover stories of magazines and in every debate on TV channels about 20 years ago when Raj Thackeray had announced his separation from Shiv Sena and formation of MNS.

The real story of the rift between Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray!

Even then this news was presented only as a political ambition of Raj Thackeray, which was an incomplete truth. Because in all truth it was the name of that important character of the family, without naming whom Raj Thackeray had told everything. After all, what was the real story of the gap that developed between Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray, who was the character who played an important role in separating the two brothers and how this gap that developed in the family was first filled within the family itself, which brought both the brothers together on one platform?

Raj Thackeray left Shiv Sena on 27 November 2005

On 27 November 2005, thousands of people gathered outside Raj Thackeray’s house. Raj Thackeray grabbed the mike and said, “My quarrel is not with my Vitthal but with the priests around him. There are some people who do not understand the ABC of politics. That is why I am resigning from the post of Shiv Sena leader. Balasaheb Thackeray was, is and will be my God.”

Then another date came, 18 December 2005. 36 year old Raj Thackeray was holding a press conference at Shivaji Park Gymkhana. He said, “I had only asked for respect, but all I got in return was contempt and insult.” With this statement, Raj Thackeray ended his relations with Shiv Sena formed by Bal Thackeray and started on the path of forming a new party.

But this different path had started from the same date on which Raj Thackeray had entered politics. That was the year 1989, when Raj Thackeray started taking interest in Shiv Sena politics. In the same year, he was made the president of Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, the youth wing of Shiv Sena. But this was also the same year when a daughter-in-law came to Bal Thackeray’s house.

Rashmi Thackeray used to be Rashmi Patankar

Uddhav Thackeray’s wife Rashmi Thackeray was once Rashmi Patankar. Used to work on contract in LIC. Raj Thackeray’s family also played an important role in changing Rashmi from Rashmi Patankar to Rashmi Thackeray. Because another girl from the Thackeray family worked in LIC, her name was Jaywanti Thackeray.

How did Jaywanti and Rashmi Patankar become friends?

Jaywanti was the daughter of Bala Saheb Thackeray’s elder brother Shrikant Thackeray and real sister of Raj Thackeray. Jaywanti and Rashmi became friends while working. Coming and going home also happened. During this time, Jaywanti introduced her friend Rashmi to her cousin Uddhav Thackeray, who used to be a photographer at that time. Used to run his own advertising agency. Their friendship blossomed and on 13 December 1989, Uddhav Thackeray married Rashmi Patankar.

There was a lot going on inside the family!

Time passed. Raj Thackeray remained active in politics and Uddhav Thackeray remained busy in his photography and advertising agency. Bal Thackeray was undoubtedly present at the top of the family. There was no visible problem anywhere. But all this was superficial only. There were a lot of things going on inside the family, news of which had started coming out but no one was talking about it. There were some valid reasons for this, to understand which you will have to understand Bal Thackeray and his entire family.

Know Bal Thackeray’s family

Bal Thackeray had a total of two brothers and 6 sisters. Right now we talk only about two brothers. Of Bal Thackeray and his brother Shrikant Thackeray. Shrikant Thackeray has two sons Raj Thackeray and Ramesh Thackeray. Raj Thackeray’s wife’s name is Sharmila Thackeray. Bal Thackeray’s sons are Bindu Madhav, Jaidev and Uddhav. Bindu Madhav died in a road accident on 20 April 1996. His wife Madhavi Thackeray, who had no interest in politics. Jaidev’s wife’s name is Smita Thackeray, who earlier used to interfere in family and politics. Jaidev never got along well with his family and especially with Bal Thackeray, so he separated. Jaidev also separated from his wife. But wife Smita Thackeray lived in Matoshree only.

The matter of the house is out!

When Bal Thackeray’s wife Meenatai died in September 1995, Rashmi Thackeray took up the responsibility of taking care of Bal Thackeray. During that time, Smita Thackeray was doing well in Shiv Sena and she used to interfere in the party too. Between 1995 and 1999, Shiv Sena was in power in Maharashtra, at that time Smita Thackeray was in control of the government. Raj Thackeray’s wife Sharmila Thackeray was also coming in the way of Rashmi Thackeray. Everyone inside the house was aware that Rashmi does not get along with Sharmila or Smita. But this thing could not come out of the house. At last the day came when the matter of the house came out.

That date was 30 January 2003. On that day there was a Shiv Sena convention in Mahabaleshwar. Along with Bal Thackeray, Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray were also present on the stage. Shiv Sainiks started considering Raj Thackeray as the natural successor, because Raj had been working with Bal Thackeray for more than a decade. At the same time, some people considered Bal Thackeray’s son Uddhav as his successor, because Uddhav was a son. However, when BMC elections were held in the year 2002, the entire responsibility of that election campaign was with Uddhav Thackeray, who stopped working in his ad agency, kept the photography camera in the cupboard and started learning the tricks of politics with his father Bala Saheb.

How did Uddhav Thackeray’s interest in politics arise?

Family members say that Uddhav’s interest in politics was aroused by his wife Rashmi Thackeray, who by then had achieved a different position in the family by dedicating herself to Bala Saheb’s care after his ill health. Uddhav Thackeray, who entered politics on the wish of his wife, was decided by his father Bal Thackeray to make him the working president of Shiv Sena on 30 January 2003. To ensure that there is no rebellion in the party, Bal Thackeray asked Raj Thackeray to declare Uddhav as the working president of the party. Same thing happened also. Raj Thackeray proposed Uddhav’s name, which was unanimously accepted.

When Raj Thackeray accepted the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray

However, Raj Thackeray was also given a place in the National Executive Committee which was announced after that meeting. Apart from Bal Thackeray, the then Lok Sabha Speaker Manohar Joshi, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Narayan Rane, Sudhir Joshi, Madhukar Sarpotdar, Liladhar Dake, Subhash Desai, Satish Pradhan, Dattaji Nalwade, Pramod Navalkar and Diwakar Raote along with cousins ​​Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray were also given place in that National Executive. At that time Raj Thackeray had no other option. Even under compulsion, he too had to accept the leadership of Uddhav Thackeray.

But everything changed on November 27, 2005. Raj Thackeray announced to leave the party that day. In the presence of thousands of supporters, Raj Thackeray gave an emotional speech and said, “There are some people who do not understand the ABC of politics. That is why I am resigning from the post of Shiv Sena leader.”

After this, December 15, 2005 was the date when Raj Thackeray met Bal Thackeray. But the matter did not work out and Raj Thackeray said something in his press conference on December 18, which brought out the family feud more than the party.

Raj Thackeray said, “I had only asked for respect, but in return I got only contempt and insult.” Raj Thackeray did not take anyone’s name in his statement, but the indication was clear that all was not well within the family, the party was an afterthought.

Raj Thackeray formed his party on 9 March 2006

After this, on March 9, 2006, Raj Thackeray formed his new party in Shivaji Park and named it Maharashtra Navnirman Sena. This party, formed in the name of Marathi Manush, got partial success in the beginning, but gradually Raj Thackeray and his party started weakening in the politics of Maharashtra.

Maharashtra Congress has decided not to form an alliance with Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) amid the Bihar election atmosphere. This decision was taken in the meeting of senior Congress leaders, which was presided over by state president Harshvardhan Sapkal. This meeting was held on Tuesday (4 November) at Tilak Bhawan. Sources gave this information.

Congress is ready to form an alliance with the parties which are part of the INDIA alliance. But Congress leaders have made it clear that no alliance will be made with MNS. Information about this decision will soon be given to the Delhi High Command.

Associating with MNS is harmful!

Congress leaders believe that associating with a party like MNS, which openly takes a stand against North Indians and minorities, can prove to be harmful for the party. Especially during Bihar elections.

Raj Thackeray seen standing with MVA

However, recently MNS chief Raj Thackeray had adopted an aggressive stance against the ruling party and the Election Commission along with Maha Vikas Aghadi on issues like alleged vote rigging and lack of transparency. Nevertheless, Congress has decided to maintain this distance. Apart from Congress, Maha Vikas Aghadi in Maharashtra includes Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT) and Sharad Pawar’s NCP (SP).

In the recent past, the closing distance between Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray has given rise to a new discussion in Maharashtra. The discussions about political alliance between the two parties have also gained momentum. However, no formal announcement has been made yet. Now, in such a situation, it will be interesting to see what reaction the Uddhav Thackeray group has on this stand of Congress. If sources are to be believed, the Uddhav Thackeray group is adopting a positive stance regarding alliance with Raj Thackeray in the upcoming BMC elections.

There are once again Thackeray Brothers at the center of the discussion of the political corridors of Maharashtra. On Wednesday (September 10), Uddhav Thackeray reached his residence Shivtirtha to meet his cousin Raj Thackeray. Uddhav Thackeray was accompanied by his reliable Sanjay Raut and Anil Parab. According to sources, the situation will be clear on the day of Dussehra whether Uddhav and Raj will contest BMC elections together or not. The meeting lasted between Uddhav and Raj Thackeray for about two hours. This meeting took place at a time when Congress leaders met Uddhav Thackeray and asked the situation for coming with Raj Thackeray.

Balasaheb Thackeray always held a large public meeting on Dussehra at Shivaji Park Dadar. Now, when there is a breakdown in Shiv Sena, Eknath Shinde holds this meeting in Azad Maidan and Uddhav Thackeray in Shivaji Park.

Second meeting in two weeks

There is a second meeting between the two brothers in the last two weeks. Uddhav Thackeray went to his brother’s house on the occasion of Ganesh festival last week. On 5 July 2025, after years, the two brothers shared the stage together. From then on, there was speculation that there will be a political alliance between the two. But no announcement has been made yet. On 27 July, Raj Thackeray went to Uddhav Thackeray’s house and congratulated him on his birthday.

Necklace before coalition

They suffered defeat before the alliance between the two brothers. Last month, Uddhav and Raj Thackeray’s party jointly fielded candidates in 21 seats in the election of Best Employees Cooperative Credit Society Limited. But in this election, he had to face defeat in all seats.

Municipal elections are to be held in Maharashtra. The most important of these is the election of BMC. Uddhav Thackeray has the hold in the country’s richest municipal body. Uddhav wants these grip to remain intact.

Let us know that in the past, the Maharashtra government had decided to teach Hindi as the third language from first to fifth. Both cousins ​​united against it. However, later the government withdrew this decision. After this, both brothers called for a Vijay rally. Raj Thackeray resigned from Shiv Sena in 2005. The following year, he formed MNS. This is the first time that he is seen with Uddhav Thackeray on the political stage.

Raj Thackeray-Uddhav Thackeray Rally: महाराष्ट्र की राजनीति में 20 साल पहले अलग हुए दो भाई, राज और उद्धव ठाकरे आज (5 जुलाई) मराठी मुद्दे पर एक साथ नजर आएंगे. पिछले कुछ वर्षों में महाराष्ट्र कई राजनीतिक समीकरण देख चुका है. अब यहां ठाकरे बंधुओं के एकजुट होने से क्या एक नए राजनीतिक समीकरण की शुरुआत होगी, इस पर सभी की निगाहें टिकी हैं.

त्रिभाषा सूत्र लागू करने का राज और उद्धव ठाकरे ने कड़ा विरोध किया था, जिसके बाद महायुति सरकार ने एक कदम पीछे हटते हुए इस फैसले को फिलहाल स्थगित कर दिया है. इसी अवसर पर मराठी एकजुटता की जीत का उत्सव मनाने के लिए आज सुबह 10 बजे वरली के एनएससीआई डोम में विजय सभा का आयोजन किया जा रहा है. 

रैली में किसी भी पार्टी का झंडा न लाने की अपील

इतना ही नहीं, इस उत्सव में शामिल होने के लिए हर मराठी प्रेमी, साहित्यकार, लेखक, कवि, शिक्षक, संपादक और कलाकार को आमंत्रित किया गया है. खास बात यह है कि इस सभा में किसी भी पार्टी का झंडा न लाने की अपील की गई है और सभी दलों के नेताओं से मराठी अस्मिता के मुद्दे पर एकजुट होने का आह्वान किया गया है.

विजयी सभा की रूपरेखा क्या होगी?

पिछले 20 वर्षों में उद्धव और राज ठाकरे ने राजनीतिक रूप से कई उतार-चढ़ाव देखे हैं. हालांकि, आगामी महानगरपालिका चुनाव दोनों के लिए अस्तित्व की लड़ाई है. इसलिए सत्ताधारी पक्ष का कहना है कि यह एकजुटता मराठी के लिए नहीं, बल्कि महानगरपालिका चुनाव के लिए है.

राज-उद्धव ठाकरे कब-कब एक साथ आए?

• 17 जुलाई 2012: उद्धव ठाकरे की छाती में दर्द के कारण लीलावती अस्पताल में भर्ती होने पर.

वास्तव में, 2014 और 2017 में शिवसेना और मनसे के एकजुट होने की गतिविधियां तेज हुई थीं, लेकिन यह तय नहीं हो सका कि कौन किसे समर्थन देगा, और मनसे ने उद्धव ठाकरे की ओर से उचित प्रतिक्रिया न मिलने का आरोप लगाया था. लेकिन वर्तमान प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियों में अपने राजनीतिक अस्तित्व को बनाए रखने के लिए क्या ठाकरे बंधुओं का राजनीतिक मेल-मिलाप होगा, इस पर सभी की नजरें टिकी हैं.

Raj and uddhav thackeray rally: After the withdrawal of government proposals regarding the imperative of Hindi in Maharashtra, now the Vijay rally of Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS is going to be held on July 5. After about 20 years, Uddhav and Raj Thackeray will be seen together on a political stage. Discussions are going on in political corridors about the possible alliance between the Thackeray brothers running isolated.

It is believed that Uddhav-Raj Thackeray reconciliation is possible to polarize Marathi votes and the alliance can prove to be a game Changer. After so many years, many more reasons are being counted behind Thackeray Brothers coming together on a political platform. It is being discussed why it is necessary for both to come with each other. Some of the possible causes of solidarity of Thackeray brothers are as follows-

Possible cause of solidarity of Thackeray brothers

• Defense of Marathi Asmita: The two leaders consider the decision to make Hindi the third compulsory language as an attack on Marathi identity
• Target on BJP government: Both BJP -led Mahayuti is accusing the government of imposing ‘linguistic emergency’
• Change in political equation: The rally is being considered as the role of a possible political alliance before the civic elections.
• Strategy to avoid partition: Earlier there were plans for different performances, but later decided to unite and rally
• To carry out the legacy of Bal Thackeray: This rally can revive the spirit of Marathi Gaurav and United Maharashtra movement.
• Public sentiment and pressure of workers: It is believed that due to the demand of workers of both parties and their supporters, the leaders of both parties have recently increased dialogue.

Uddhav and Raj’s status and challenges in BMC

• Uddhav’s status: Shiv Sena (UBT) dominates with 84 seats in 2017, now weakened
• Raj’s status: 7 councilors of MNS (2017), now impact negligible
• Uddhav’s challenges: BJP-Shinde alliance, seat sharing problem in MVA
• Raj’s challenges: lack of organization and finance, reduced morale of workers
• BJP pressure: Shinde-Fadnavis’s strategy threatens both

Language dispute in Maharashtra

In Maharashtra, Hindi was made compulsory as the third language for students from 1 to 5th on 17 April. On 29 June 2025, the Maharashtra government had decided for 3 language formula. This decision was implemented on all Marathi and English medium schools of the state. The National Education Policy (NEP) The policy of three languages ​​for these classes was implemented in Maharashtra keeping in mind the new Karikulum of 2020.

Updated guidelines were released after the dispute escalated. Students studying from class 1 to 5 in Marathi and English Medium could choose other Indian languages ​​apart from Hindi as the third language. The condition for this was that at least 20 students of one class should choose another language other than Hindi. In such a situation, second language teachers will also be appointed in the school. If the number of students choosing second language is less than 20, then that language was to be studied online.

Earlier Raj and Uddhav Thackeray were to separate the rally

Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray were scheduled to hold a joint rally in Mumbai on 5 July amid the ongoing controversy over Hindi language in Maharashtra. But after withdrawing the proposal of language mandatory, the two leaders are preparing to take out the Marathi Vijay rally. Earlier, Uddhav announced to take out a rally on 6 July and MNS chief on 7 July. NCP Chief Sharad Pawar has also supported Thackeray brothers. The Maharashtra government made Hindi the third compulsory language on 17 April this year. After the protest, the government changed the decision.

When and why did Raj Thackeray separate from Shiv Sena?

Raj Thackeray resigned from Shiv Sena in November 2005. He founded the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena in Mumbai on March 2006. The main reason for Raj Thackeray’s exit from the Shiv Sena was the power struggle within the party. Raj’s fierce Marathi-Hindutva trek while Uddhav Thackeray had a balanced approach. In the 2009 elections, MNS won 13 seats and cut the votes of Shiv Sena.

He was angry that cousin Uddhav Thackeray was being prepared as the party’s founder and successor. Like Bal Thackeray, the secrets were not satisfied with the way of leading the party leading. Internal family mobility also played a role in it. There was also differences with his cousin Uddhav over leadership. Later, after meeting the two at the wedding ceremony in 2025, there was speculation of reconciliation.

Maharashtra Merger Buzz: Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray and MNS chief Raj Thackeray are going to be seen on a platform in Maharashtra. Both brothers can also have further alliance. In such a situation, there is a big question that what will be the stand of Congress.

Congress, Shiv Sena UBT and Sharad Pawar’s party NCP SP is still in MVA. All three party assembly and Lok Sabha elections have been contested together. The discussion is also about NCP (SP). NCP SP and Ajit Pawar’s party NCP may be merged.

Amidst these speculation, former Maharashtra Chief Minister and senior Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan said that the Congress will only discuss the affairs of alliance with Uddhav Thackeray of Shiv Sena (UBT) and Sharad Pawar of NCP (SP) and will leave the decision on sub-alliance.

… then it will be difficult to continue the alliance- Chavan

At the same time, Chavan made it clear that if the NCP merges and if that party goes with the NDA, it will be difficult for the Congress to continue an alliance with him in Maharashtra.

In an interview to PTI, Prithviraj Chavan termed the matter of coming with Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray as a family matter. If we go to the alliance (in local body elections), we will distribute seats with the leaders of coalition partners. Now, with whom they do sub-alliance, this is completely their position.

What did Congress say on Raj Thackeray?

Prithviraj Chavan said, “If a person is completely against the values ​​of Congress, we will raise some objections; Otherwise, this is an internal family matter and how they adjust the seats if we go with the alliance (in local body elections). ”

When asked about Raj Thackeray, Chavan said, “Our experience is that he is a senior leader in Maharashtra politics. They pull the crowd; whenever they hold a public meeting, there is a huge crowd. But it does not convert to votes and that is why they have no attendance in the present Maharashtra Legislative Assembly.”

Uddhav thackeray raj thackeray rally: Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray will be seen on a platform on 5 July. Earlier, both brothers released a joint message for the first time on Tuesday (July 1) and called on the July 5 Vijay rally.

He said amid controversy over Hindi in schools, “Marathi mothers, sisters and brothers, bowed to the government?” So yes, bowed …! And who bowed? So all of you, Marathi people bowed! We were only struggling on your behalf. ”

He said, “So even while celebrating this happiness, we are only the organizers of this event, the rest of the celebration is to celebrate all of you. Come with the instruments, in the celebration, let’s blow gulal !! We are waiting for you…! ”This message has been shared by the Rajya Sabha MP of Shiv Sena (UBT) Sanjay Raut in the name of both brothers.
