Meeting Highlights Tensions Following BMC Election Results

Meeting Highlights Tensions Following BMC Election Results.webp

Mumbai, February 18 MNS president Raj Thackeray met Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde at his residence here on Wednesday, their first in-person interaction after the Mumbai civic body polls last month.

Both leaders discussed a wide range of topics, a source close to the Shinde-led Shiv Sena said.

Raj Thackeray's meeting with Shinde comes at a time when a section of MNS leaders have openly expressed their disappointment over the lack of support from the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections.

The MNS leader met Shinde at 'Nandanvan', the official residence of the deputy CM.

The high-stakes battle for the cash-rich BMC last month saw the Thackeray cousins reunite after two decades, only to see their hopes dashed.

The BJP emerged victorious, breaking the nearly three-decade-old dominance of the undivided Shiv Sena led by the Thackeray family.
