Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday hinted that his party may contest the upcoming local bodies elections in the state on its own, stating that his cadres were keen on it and that he would decide on it at the appropriate time, reported the PTI.

Hitting out at Union Home Minister Amit Shah for criticising Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) over its loss in the last year's Maharashtra Assembly elections 2024, he said nobody should try to mess with his party, and dared the BJP to hold at least one election using ballot papers, according to the PTI.
