Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis shared the stage with Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and MNS chief Raj Thackeray at a book launch event in Mumbai on Thursday. Fadnavis remarked that he would have met Uddhav had he been called in 2019, referencing their past political relationship. He also made a light-hearted comment about moving 'towards the right' while speaking from the opposite side of the dais, in contrast to the two Thackeray brothers who sat on the left.
The event drew political attention as the three leaders were seen together in a room before the function, sparking speculation amid evolving political equations in Maharashtra. The gathering coincided with recent Legislative Council election results, and Fadnavis's remarks were seen as having political undertones, given the opposition alignment of both Thackeray-led parties.
