In a recent interview with News18, Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) leader Baba Nandgaonkar revealed that the party is in positive talks with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the upcoming elections. The Thackeray brand, he said, has always stood for Hindutva, and this alliance seems to be a reflection of that ideology.
“We are looking at one or two seats. Most probably, we will contest from South Mumbai,” Nandgaonkar stated, hinting at the party’s strategic plans for the electoral battle. His name has been in the limelight as a potential candidate, and he acknowledged this speculation. “I am aware that my name is on the forefront,” he said.
Nandgaonkar expressed his loyalty towards the party and its decisions, stating, “Whatever my party leader tells me, I will do it.” This statement underlines the unity and discipline within the party ranks, as they gear up for the forthcoming political contest.
The positive talks between MNS and BJP indicate a potential shift in the political landscape of Maharashtra. As parties realign their strategies and alliances, the upcoming elections promise to be a keenly watched event.
The final decision on the candidature and the constituencies they will contest from is expected to be announced soon. As the political scenario unfolds, the citizens of Maharashtra, especially South Mumbai, await the impact of this potential alliance on their electoral choices.
