Uddhav called Raj when Sena ended its alliance with BJP

September 26, 2014 17:20

Even as the Shiv Sena parted ways with the BJP in Maharashtra, breaking a 25-year-long alliance, Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray made two phone calls. He called his estranged cousin and political rival, Raj Thackeray, reports NDTV.

Yesterday, the Sena-BJP alliance ended over the number seats to be contested in the upcoming Maharashtra polls and over who would be the state's next chief minister.

The calls were made last week, say reports, even as things were coming undone with the BJP. But NDTV reports that "there was nothing political" about the the calls and that the cousins talked of Raj's health.

The MNS chief was reportedly down with malaria.
