The top seeding for Uddhav Thackeray at I.N.D.I.A. Front’s third leg of national meetings has more than meets the eye. Thackeray’s party was the second largest in the Lok Sabha and the Maharashtra Assembly before it split last year and it seems he still gives the Opposition bloc a ray of hope considering his undying fight with the Sena rebels and the BJP. 

Comparison is being drawn between the Thackeray Sena and Sharad Pawar’s NCP which has also been split but refuses to buy into the division between the uncle and nephew.
