Clearing the air on the current meetup between the Thackeray brothers, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Saturday said that the meeting should not be viewed politically. He added that Raj Thackeray went to wish Uddhav Thackeray on his birthday, and this moment should not be viewed from a political lens, reported news agency ANI.

CM Devendra Fadnavis, while talking to ANI, said, "Raj Thackeray went to wish Uddhav Thackeray on his birthday. It's a matter of happiness. Why should we view it politically? We also extend our best wishes to Uddhav ji. Going to wish someone on their birthday should not be seen through a political lens."

Further commenting on the upcoming local election, he added, "You saw what's in the heart of Maharashtra during the Assembly elections. You will see it again in the upcoming local body elections. Just because something is in the mind of a leader of a particular party doesn't mean it reflects the sentiments of all of Maharashtra..."
