After nearly two decades of rivalry, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray are set to announce a political alliance ahead of the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections. The split between Shiv Sena (UBT) and MNS had long divided Marathi-speaking voters in Mumbai, influencing past election outcomes. Analysts say their combined vote share could significantly impact key civic wards, though questions remain about whether the Thackeray name still holds sway over Mumbai voters.
