Raj Thackeray's meeting with Amit Shah comes amidst discussions about a potential alliance in Maharashtra.

MNS leader Raj Thackeray's recent meeting with Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi has sparked speculation about the party potentially aligning with the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena alliance in Maharashtra for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The meeting, which included Raj Thackeray's son Amit Thackeray, took place amidst growing anticipation of the MNS joining the NDA fold ahead of the polls.

Sources indicate that Raj Thackeray arrived in Delhi on Monday night, coinciding with the presence of key Maharashtra leaders like Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and state BJP President Chandrashekhar Bawankule in the capital. It is rumored that the MNS might seek two seats—South Mumbai and Shirdi—for their candidates as part of the potential alliance.

Raj Thackeray's political trajectory is notable due to his familial connections with the Shiv Sena, led by his estranged cousin Uddhav Thackeray. Following a split in the Shiv Sena resulting in two factions, with Eknath Shinde leading one, the dynamics within Maharashtra's political landscape have evolved significantly.

The ongoing developments suggest a reconfiguration of alliances and strategies, indicating the potential for significant shifts in Maharashtra's political scenario in the lead-up to the Lok Sabha elections.
