Estranged Cousins Raj Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray Hint at Reunion
The Thackeray family - which splintered politically in 2005 following Raj Thackeray's decision to start his own party, could witness a dramatic reunion. Estranged cousins Raj and Uddhav Thackeray have both hinted at a patch-up amid concerns over alleged threats to Marathi identity and culture.
Speaking at different events, the two leaders, who head the Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) respectively, conveyed a common message that Maharashtra's linguistic and cultural interests are above political rivalries.
