Amid the floating speculation of a possible alliance between the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) and the Raj Thackeray`s Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS), Eknath Shinde`s Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam mocked at Uddhav, claiming the party is `so weak` that it either needs to team up with MNS or `compromise with Muslim votes,` reported the ANI.

"If both the brothers (Uddhav and Raj Thackeray) and their parties want to unite, we do not have anything to do. Today, the condition of Uddhav Thackeray and his party is that sometimes they have to join hands with Congress to win elections and sometimes compromise with Muslim votes. Today, they have become so weak that they have to give a proposal to join hands with MNS," Sanjay Nirupam told ANI in Mumbai.
