Maharashtra Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule has described the recent meeting between Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and MNS president Raj Thackeray as a "family affair," emphasizing that it holds no political significance. He noted that such gatherings are customary during festivals like Diwali and urged the public and media not to read political motives into the interaction. Bawankule contrasted the leadership styles of Uddhav Thackeray and Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, describing Fadnavis as "decisive, visionary, and people-centric," while characterizing Thackeray's tenure as Chief Minister as less effective. He highlighted the BJP's focus on long-term strategic planning under Vision 2035 and 2047, prioritizing implementation over announcements. Despite this, the meeting, the sixth in three months between Uddhav and Raj Thackeray, has sparked speculation about a potential political alliance ahead of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections. BJP leaders, including Bawankule, have dismissed these developments as personal interactions, aiming to shift focus away from political implications. #ChandrashekharBawankule #UddhavThackeray #RajThackeray #FamilyAffair #MaharashtraPolitics #DiwaliGathering #PoliticalSpeculation #BJPLeadership
