Is Uddhav Thackeray Returning To NDA? Sena (UBT) MP’s ‘Moye Moye’ Response

Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi, critiquing journalists allegedly supporting the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), posted on X, “The life of a godi ‘patrakaar’. Begin: BJP will win a big mandate with a massive majority in 2019. Middle: oh look! We are thrilled because exit polls prove our godi ‘patrakarita’ with ‘Modi chashma’ right. End: No majority? So what we will spread new rumours that Shiv Sena UBT will be back in NDA. Hail Modi. Moye Moye. Ye na hoye. You can roye roye.”

Earlier in the day, Shiv Sena (UBT)’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance partner, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) led by Sharad Pawar, also dismissed rumors of the former Maharashtra chief minister joining the NDA.

“There is no chance that he will switch sides,” said Maharashtra NCP (SCP) chief Jayant Patil.

Shiv Sena (UBT), led by Uddhav Thackeray, won nine seats in the Lok Sabha elections. In contrast, the Shiv Sena faction recognized by the Election Commission and led by incumbent chief minister Eknath Shinde secured just seven seats.

The Maha Vikas Aghadi, which includes the Congress and NCP (SP), won 30 out of 48 seats in Maharashtra, with the Congress and NCP (SP) winning 13 and eight seats, respectively.

Meanwhile, the ruling Mahayuti alliance, comprising the BJP, Shiv Sena, and Ajit Pawar’s NCP, won 17 seats.

“The elections have shown that the BJP can be defeated. The myth (that it cannot be defeated) has been broken,” Uddhav Thackeray remarked.

In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections in Maharashtra, the BJP won 23 seats while its then ally, the undivided Shiv Sena, bagged 18. The then undivided NCP secured four constituencies, while the Congress won just one seat.

The Lok Sabha success has bolstered the Maha Vikas Aghadi ahead of the Maharashtra assembly elections, which are scheduled for October this year.
