The Bharatiya Janata Party on Tuesday launched a sharp attack on Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) president Raj Thackeray <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/20-years-on-uddhav-thackeray-cousin-raj-reunite-for-civic-polls-in-maharashtra-ws-kl-9789371.html\">following their decision to come together for the forthcoming Maharashtra civic elections<\/a>, including the high-stakes Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) polls.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Addressing a press conference, the BJP described the reunion as a move driven by fear rather than political conviction. The BJP said that \u201cparivaar vaadi forces have come together due to fear of loss,&#8221; claiming the alliance was forged out of concern over dwindling political relevance. According to the BJP, the Thackerays were apprehensive that Mumbai voters were increasingly inclined towards a \u201cVikas ki sarkar,&#8221; prompting them to unite to protect their political interests.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">The party further alleged that the alliance was an attempt to \u201csave their deposits&#8221; in the civic elections, asserting that the people of Mumbai had already made up their minds and stood firmly with the NDA. BJP leaders maintained that development, governance and infrastructure would remain the dominant issues for voters, rather than family-based politics.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">The remarks came shortly after Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray formally announced their reunion nearly 20 years after parting ways. Raj Thackeray had left the undivided Shiv Sena in 2005 and formed the MNS, leading to a prolonged political and personal rift between the cousins. Their coming together is aimed at contesting municipal polls jointly, with a focus on Mumbai and other urban local bodies across Maharashtra.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">While the Thackeray brothers have projected the alliance as a move to protect Marathi interests and prevent division of votes, the BJP has dismissed the narrative, reiterating that Mumbai remains with the NDA and that voters will choose stability and development over what it called opportunistic political alliances.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-281323121 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>December 24, 2025, 13:43 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-ee90caf6118df965 jsx-281323121 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/politics\/\">politics<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> &#8216;Parivaar Vaadi Forces Coming Together Due To Fear Of Loss&#8217;: BJP&#8217;s Jibe At Thackeray Cousins<\/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.
