Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut has clarified that there is no formal alliance yet between Uddhav and Raj Thackeray, calling the current developments "emotional talks." The speculation comes after Raj Thackeray expressed readiness to work with Uddhav for Maharashtra’s interests, while Uddhav responded positively, urging Raj to distance from “anti-Maharashtra” forces, hinting at the BJP. Raut emphasized that the decision to form an alliance lies with the cousins themselves. The potential reunion gains significance amid growing opposition to the state government's move to make Hindi compulsory in schools, sparking concerns over Marathi identity and regional pride.
