Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday indicated their willingness to unite for the interest of Maharashtra and Marathi people by keeping aside the differences between them.
In a candid interview with actor Mahesh Manjrekar, Raj Thackeray spoke on a range of topics, including Marathi identity, the upcoming Mumbai municipal elections, Eknath Shinde’s politics and a possible alliance with Uddhav Thackeray.
“Compared to greater causes, the disputes and disagreements between us are minor. Maharashtra is far bigger than our personal issues. These matters are trivial in the fight for the existence of the Marathi identity. Coming together or working together isn’t a difficult thing—it’s only a matter of will. And it’s not just about me. I believe all Marathi people across political parties should unite and form a single front,” said Raj Thackeray.
