Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut said on Monday it was “too premature” to suggest a political reunion between estranged cousins Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, a day after they attended a family function. Uddhav Thackeray, who heads Shiv Sena (UBT), and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray were seen together at the wedding of the latter's nephew in Mumbai.

“Maharashtra has deep affection for the Thackeray family. If Uddhav and Raj come together, Maharashtra will be happy. However, Raj Thackeray heads a separate party. His role models are PM Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, and Devendra Fadnavis. For us, they are enemies of Maharashtra,” Raut told reporters.
