Shiv Sena (UBT) MP and national spokesperson Sanjay Raut highlighted the collaboration between the Thackeray brothers, Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, for the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections. The alliance aims to “save Mumbai” and has garnered trust among the city’s residents. The joint manifesto ‘Vachan Nama’ was unveiled by the two parties, emphasizing the importance of the civic polls.
Raut emphasized the historical significance of the Shiv Sena’s presence in Mumbai and its stronghold in the BMC. Despite changes in the city’s landscape, the party is poised to maintain its dominance in the upcoming elections. The alliance between the Thackeray brothers is seen as a pivotal move to safeguard the interests of Mumbai and its people.
The joint manifesto includes promises of affordable housing, improved infrastructure, and welfare measures for women. It outlines plans for enhancing healthcare, public transport, and education facilities in the city. The document also proposes a monthly allowance for specific groups of women under the ‘Swabhiman Nidhi’ scheme.
In a significant moment, the manifesto was unveiled at Shiv Sena Bhawan, marking Raj Thackeray’s return to the party headquarters after nearly two decades. Raj Thackeray had previously left the Shiv Sena in 2005 due to disagreements with Uddhav Thackeray over the party’s leadership. The alliance between the Thackeray cousins has resonated with the public, instilling trust and hope among the citizens of Mumbai.
