The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Wednesday claimed that the alliance between Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections 2026 will not be the beginning of a historical era but will be the beginning of a historical defeat for them.
The BJP said that Raj Thackeray should not forget that the history of both parties was divided when Uddhav Thackeray sided with Congress and Sharad Pawar. By going with Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), Raj Thackeray will also face nothing but defeat, it added.
