Rashmi Thackeray—wife of former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray—will participate in his party’s women’s wing meeting for the first time in the last week of April. Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) metropolitan head of Nashik, Sudhakar Badgujar confirmed that she will visit Nashik to attend the meeting. “But the date of the meeting has not yet been fixed,” he said.

Earlier, Rashmi would accompany Uddhav to political gatherings and rallies, but she always avoided coming onto the dais. She would mostly attend social or cultural events organised by the party but refrain from participating in political events. She started interacting with party workers who visited the Thackeray family residence Matoshree after the party split.`
