In two to three days, there will be an official announcement,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">\u201cThe Congress has expressed reservations over the Raj Thackeray-led MNS. We have been trying to convince the Congress that to defeat the BJP, it is necessary to come together,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">A day earlier, MNS leader Nitin Sardesai had said that negotiations between the two parties\u2014headed by cousins Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray\u2014were nearing completion. However, he added that it was still unclear when an official announcement on the alliance would be made.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-770125306 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 22, 2025, 18:01 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-770125306 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/\">india<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> \u2018Talks Almost Over\u2019: Sanjay Raut On Shiv Sena (UBT)\u2013MNS Alliance For BMC Polls<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
