Raj Thackeray Greets Uddhav on 65th Birthday, Signals Unity
Thackeray cousins reunite for Uddhav’s birthday
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray drove to Matoshree in Bandra on Sunday to personally wish his cousin, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Uddhav Thackeray, on his 65th birthday, marking a warm moment in their renewed alliance. Accompanied by Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, Uddhav welcomed Raj at the iconic Matoshree bungalow, where Raj presented a vibrant bouquet of red roses.
The visit follows the cousins’ rare joint appearance on July 5 at a Mumbai “victory” rally celebrating the rollback of Hindi language government resolutions by the BJP-led state government. Addressing Marathi identity and opposing perceived Hindi imposition, Uddhav declared at the rally that he and Raj have “come together to stay together,” signaling a political reunion after nearly two decades of estrangement.
The Thackeray cousins’ gesture underscores a strengthening bond, both personal and political, amid Maharashtra’s evolving political landscape.
