Fadnavis, Uddhav and Raj Thackeray Share Stage at Mumbai Book Launch Amid Political Speculation
Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, and MNS leader Raj Thackeray shared a rare stage at a Mumbai book launch celebrating Marathi political cartoons. The event featured light-hearted exchanges, including Fadnavis recalling his pre-2019 cordial ties with Uddhav and joking about their political split. Raj Thackeray humorously suggested Fadnavis remain CM until 2029. While the gathering sparked political speculation amid BJP-Shiv Sena tensions, all leaders emphasized cultural unity over politics.
