‘They are brothers, emotional talks on’: Sanjay Raut on Raj-Uddhav Thackeray reunion buzz

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut stated on Sunday that "emotional talks" were taking place between Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray and his cousin, MNS President Raj Thackeray, amid speculation over a possible reunion. "There has been no announcement of an alliance. Currently, emotional discussions are taking place. Raj and Uddhav meet at family functions. "They are brothers," he explained.

He also stated that no conditions for a future collaboration had been established at this time. "Both Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray discuss the interests of Maharashtra. The BJP does not fit into it. "Those who support the BJP do not fit in," Raut added. 

He referred to the BJP as the "enemy of Maharashtra" and stated that they were to blame for the division in the Shiv Sena, which had previously worked for the best interests of Maharashtra. Sandeep Deshpande, MNS's Mumbai president and party spokesperson, remarked that people were overreacting to the incident and that the Sena (UBT) should support the MNS in safeguarding the Marathi people and language.
