While in his village Dara, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reacted angrily when questioned by journalists about a potential Uddhav-Raj Thackeray alliance, pushing one aside and saying, "Let him go, man, what are you talking about?" This follows a "goodwill meeting" on Thursday between Shinde and Raj Thackeray. Although Shinde visited Thackeray's residence after the assembly elections, with speculation about a municipal election alliance, Shinde later clarified that their recent meeting focused on reminiscing about Balasaheb and did not involve Mahayuti discussions.

Raj Thackeray stated regarding a possible reunion, "When I was in Shiv Sena, I had no objection to working with Uddhav. But does the other party have any intention of working with him? If Maharashtra wants it, Maharashtra should go and say so. I do not bring my ego into such small and big matters." Responding to Thackeray's proposal, Uddhav Thackeray stated, "I am also ready to put aside petty disputes. I appeal to all Marathi people to come together for the benefit of Maharashtra."
