Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray will share a public platform for the first time in over 20 years on January 11 at Shivaji Park for the BMC elections. Their alliance, which includes Sharad Pawar's NCP faction, has released a joint manifesto targeting the BJP-led coalition. They accuse the ruling alliance of undemocratic practices and demand the cancellation of unopposed ward elections. The rally aims to showcase their unity ahead of the January 15 civic polls.
