Failed Thackeray Reunion Hits Uddhav Hard

Uddhav and Raj Thackeray reunited after 20 years to reclaim Shiv Sena’s legacy, but the move backfired. Shiv Sena (UBT) won 73 wards, while Raj’s MNS managed only 10. Raj’s aggressive Marathi-only stance reportedly alienated non-Maharashtrian voters, suggesting Uddhav might have fared better contesting alone or with Congress in the BMC elections.
