Mahayuti Remains Confident Amidst Sena-MNS Alliance Speculations

Despite discussions of a potential alliance between Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) for upcoming local polls, Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske asserts the Mahayuti alliance's victory is certain. Previous alliances with parties like Congress and NCP haven't deterred Mahayuti's success in past elections.

The alliance talks between Shiv Sena (UBT) and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) may not influence the Mahayuti alliance's prospects in the upcoming civic polls, according to Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske. He confidently stated that the ruling coalition is well-equipped for the electoral challenge.

During a media interaction on Saturday night, Mhaske emphasized the Mahayuti's readiness for the political battle ahead. While leaders from both Sena (UBT) and MNS express certainty about forming an alliance, a conclusive decision will be made closer to the election date.

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray has been outspoken about the potential tie-up, contrasting with MNS president Raj Thackeray's reserved stance. Mhaske pointed out past alliances with parties such as Congress and the NCP, which did not hinder Mahayuti's successes in the recent Lok Sabha and state assembly elections. He remains optimistic about continuing this winning streak in the civic body polls.
