MNS Raj Thackeray gave a hint indirectly to extend his hand to Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray for an alliance. "If we keep any big thing in mind, the dispute between us is very minor. Maharashtra is very big in front of that. For the existence of this Maharashtra and the existence of the Marathi people, the dispute between us and all the other things are trivial. Therefore, coming together and living together, these things are not difficult, but the question is only of will," Said Raj Thackeray. Following this statement, there are talks in political circle about possible alliance. Shiv Sena UBT leader Sanjay Raut has reacted to Raj Thackeray's statement.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut says, "Raj Thackeray has said that if there are any grudges between the two brothers, then I will keep my ego aside and will remove it (grudges) for the best interests of Maharashtra. On which Uddhav Thackeray has said that we are brothers and there are no grudges between us and if there are any, I will remove them." While putting condition Sanjay raut stated that." But you should not give place in your home to the enemy of Maharashtra and Shiv Sena (UBT)...If you agree on this, we will surely talk".
Sanjay Raut stated that while Raj Thackeray is willing to resolve disputes for Maharashtra's benefit, Uddhav Thackeray maintains that no dispute exists and resolution is quick. The core issue, Raut emphasized, is severing ties with those acting against Maharashtra. He recalled the 25-year alliance, including Raj Thackeray's involvement, but cited the attempt to break Shiv Sena and harm Maharashtra's roots as the reason for their current stance. He highlighted issues like anti-farmer laws and industries leaving Maharashtra, stating that aligning with those forces is detrimental and unacceptable. Raut added that Uddhav Thackeray has humbly acknowledged that some forces conspire to harm Maharashtra and its people. He affirmed their refusal to associate with or condone such behavior, reiterating that enemies of Maharashtra, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, and Balasaheb Thackeray's Shiv Sena are unacceptable. Raut concluded by saying that anyone sharing this stance is welcome, and further discussion and action will follow.

"The current situation in Maharashtra is serious. The rulers say one thing and do another. We will never give such people a place at our door, this is our stand and it is necessary for Raj Thackeray or his people to reward this stand. The Bharatiya Janata Party and its sidekicks want to erase the name Thackeray. In such a situation, if both the Thackeray brothers have given a call and responded, Maharashtra is welcoming it. We are in a wait and watch position. But, we are certainly looking at this issue from a positive perspective," MP Sanjay Raut also said.
