Sanjay Raut, a key figure in Shiv Sena (UBT), provided clarification on Uddhav Thackeray's recent statement about 'going solo' in Mumbai's upcoming civic elections. Raut assured that this move does not mark the dissolution of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance, but rather reflects localized sentiment specific to Mumbai.

Raut highlighted that Thackeray's intention is understood by party workers as resonating with their longstanding governance over Mumbai's municipal corporation. While Shiv Sena (UBT) might pursue a solitary campaign in Mumbai, the alliance comprising Congress, NCP (SP), and Shiv Sena (UBT) will continue to collaborate in broader electoral contests across Maharashtra.

Furthermore, Raut pointed out the BJP's destabilizing tactics in the region, referencing past splits within Shiv Sena and NCP, and warned of potential similar actions against political figures like Chandrababu Naidu and Nitish Kumar, both linked to the BJP-led NDA.
