At event, CM addresses Union Minister Raosaheb Danve of BJP and others as ‘former and future colleagues’

Uddhav Thackeray’s remark sparks speculation

Uddhav Thackeray clarified later that he said former and current colleagues as there were leaders from all parties on the dais

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday addressed leaders including Union Minister Raosaheb Danve at a function in Aurangabad as former and possible “future colleagues”, leading to speculation on whether a political realignment was in the offing.


The Thackeray-led Shiv Sena parted ways with the BJP after the 2019 Assembly polls and formed a government with the NCP and Congress. Addressing dignitaries on the dais, Thackeray said, “My former, current, and if we come together, future colleagues.”


Danve, a BJP leader, was present, so was senior state minister Balasaheb Thorat of Congress. Speaking to reporters at another event, Thackeray clarified he said former and current colleagues as there were leaders from all parties on the dais. “If everybody comes together, they can become future colleagues too. Time will tell,” he added cryptically.
