Uddhav, Raj joining hands will be force multiplier: Bhujbal

November 17, 2014 22:19

Senior NCP leader and former Shiv Sainik Chhagan Bhujbal today said Sena president Uddhav Thackeray and MNS chief Raj Thackeray's possible reunion will become a force to reckon with in Maharashtra politics if the estranged cousins decide to bury their differences and come together.

"The strength of both the (cousin) brothers will increase many times if they come together after a gap of so many years. Being together, they will not need the support of anybody else to make a strong mark in the state. I also feel Uddhav should take the first step towards rapprochement," Bhujbal said.

He was speaking to a regional news channel after the Thackeray cousins shared the stage together for the first time in last two years while paying tribute to late Bal Thackeray on his second death anniversary at Shivaji Park in Mumbai.
