Divergent views taken by the BJP and MNS on many issues over the past few days might suggest that the two won’t come together in the BMC polls, but the saffron party and the Raj Thackeray-led outfit could still have a tacit understanding to dent the chances of the Uddhav Thackeray faction, said experts.
Soon after Eknath Shinde broke away from Sena, Raj had given feelers that he was warming up to the rebels and BJP. In the recent past, Chief Minister Shinde visited Raj’s home, while the latter went to Varsha, the CM’s official residence. On both occasions, the BJP and MNS avoided talking to each other. In the 2017 BMC polls, MNS had won seven seats, while BJP had bagged 84, two less than the Shiv Sena.
