Uddhav Thackeray To Become Abhimanyu In Mumbai's Mahabharata

ABP News  

In upcoming Mumbai Municipal Corporation polls, Uddhav Thackeray is likely to find himself trapped in a maze, like Abhimanyu, a character in the epic Mahabharata. Last Friday, MNS chief Raj Thackeray, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis shared a stage to participate in Deepotsav. Although Raj Thackeray recently instructed his cadres to prepare for fighting the elections independently, the grapevine in the political circles tells that the BJP is going to make some tacit arrangement with him. The BJP could effectively use Raj Thackeray’s MNS to divide the Marathi votes on which Uddhav’s faction heavily relies upon. In such a scenario, Uddhav, just like Abhimanyu, has to face a maze created by his cousin Raj Thackeray, erstwhile confidant Eknath Shinde and political partner till 2019, Devendra Fadnavis.
