“Time has come to unite for the interest of Mumbai and Maharashtra. Shivsainiks are ready to protect Marathi ‘asmita’ (pride),” the Shiv Sena (UBT) said in a post on X.

Last week, Raj Thackeray sparked speculation about a potential political rapprochement with his cousin and former chief minister Uddhav, noting their past differences are “trivial” and uniting for the greater good of “Marathi manoos” is not a difficult task.

To this, Uddhav Thackeray said he is ready to put aside trivial fights provided those working against Maharashtra’s interests will not be entertained.
