The recent reunion of Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray signifies more than a family truce, carrying significant electoral and narrative implications for Maharashtra politics. This development introduces uncertainty for the BJP, which has benefited from divisions within the Shiv Sena. The reunion challenges the BJP's narrative on Marathi pride and Hindutva, potentially complicating its strategy by consolidating the Thackeray legacy. The consolidation of Marathi asmita politics and the potential impact on urban power centers like the BMC are key areas of focus.
