New Delhi: Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray Meet Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister on Wednesday Eknath Shinde at the latter’s residence in Mumbai. This is their first face-to-face interaction since the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections last month.The meeting, held at Nandanvan, Sindh’s official residence, covered a range of issues, a Sindh leadership official said shiva sena told PTI. However, the specific content of the meeting was not made public.The MNS has extended its support to the Shinde Sena in Kalyan-Dombivli.Last month, Shinde had praised Raj Thackeray, saying he never considered personal interests and always took decisions from a broader perspective. “MNS supports the development of Shiv Sena in Kalyan-Dombivli. Earlier, MNS also stood with us (Mahayuti) in LS and Assembly elections. The alliance between the BJP and the Shiv Sena is not just about now. Now MNS is also involved. We are seeing who benefits and who loses from the (UBT Sena-MNS) alliance and Raj never thought about personal gain,” he said.“He always takes decisions from a broader perspective. He supports Prime Minister Modi on development issues. He also supported us in the assembly elections. Raj Thackeray values ​​the feelings of workers,” Shinde said.Raj Thackeray’s latest outreach comes at a time of palpable discontent within the MNS, with some of its leaders openly expressing their dismay at the Shiv Sena’s (UBT) lack of support in the civic polls.The meeting came after a high-stakes race for the BMC that saw the Thackeray brothers briefly reunited after nearly two decades, but their joint efforts failed to pan out. The BJP’s victory ended nearly three decades of dominance by the Thackeray family-led Shiv Sena.
