Maharashtra: The supporters of both the brothers are very excited due to the speculations of former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) President Raj Thackeray coming together.
But in the meantime, BJP is preparing to run Operation Lotus once again in Maharashtra. Such speculations are being made about the phone call of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to Nagesh Patil Ashtikar, MP from Hingoli district of Uddhav's party Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray (UBT).
Ashtikar's birthday was on Sunday. On this occasion, Shah called Ashtikar and congratulated him on his birthday, which created a stir in the UBT camp. UBT party chief Uddhav Thackeray's birthday was also on Sunday. But Shah did not call his old ally Thackeray to congratulate him on his birthday.
After Shah's phone call to Ashtikar, political experts are saying that BJP is trying to woo Ashtikar. Or it could also be an attempt to make his image suspicious.
Uddhav Thackeray also greeted Ashtikar
Uddhav Thackeray, who had ignored the party leaders till now, is now trying to handle his party. On Sunday, after Shah, Uddhav also called Ashtikar and wished him on his birthday. During this, Ashtikar also wished Uddhav on his birthday.
Despite being busy with people wishing him on Sunday due to his birthday, Uddhav called and congratulated Ashtikar. While wishing him, he said, "May you live for thousands of years and always be together." On this, Ashtikar also assured him and said, "There is no doubt about this.
