Uddhav and Raj Thackeray's Recent Meetings Fuel Speculation of Political Reconciliation

The cousins and leaders of Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS have met publicly three times in recent months, raising questions about potential collaboration ahead of Maharashtra civic polls.

• Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray were seen together at a wedding in Mumbai, marking their third public meeting in three months.
• Their interactions have led to speculation about a potential political reunion ahead of Maharashtra's upcoming civic elections, including the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation polls.
• The two cousins have been politically estranged since 2005, when Raj Thackeray left Shiv Sena to form the MNS.
• Observers suggest that the meetings could indicate efforts to resolve differences, but no official confirmation has been made.
• The civic poll schedule has yet to be announced, and both the ruling Mahayuti and opposition MVA alliances are reportedly facing internal tensions.
