Month After Thackeray Reunion, Team Raj Backs Shinde Sena In Key Civic Body
In a surprising move, the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena is reportedly planning an alliance with the newly elected corporators of the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena in the Kalyan Dombivli municipal corporation.
This comes shortly after Raj Thackeray buried the hatchet with his cousin and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and contested the election to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) together. The alliance of the BJP and the Shinde Sena performed strongly in the BMC election, but the two allies are locked in a tussle for the Mayor post.
