The policy in Mumbai at this time is a child or how to see a show of wild animals. Imagine the tigers hiding, Águilas flying above, jumping monkeys and everyone tries to get attention or defend their space. That is what it seems that people talk about two cousins, Uddhav and Raj Thakeray, maybe working together again in politics.
So who are the Thakkerays?
They are part of a famous political family in Maharashtra. Uddhav Thakeray obtained control or a great political party called SHIV SENAwho was initiated by his father. But years ago, his cousin Raj Tackeray I did not agree with how things were going and his own party began, the Mns. Raj’s game did not go well in the elections, but his followers are still noisy and active.
Later, Uddhav lost control of the original Shiv Sena party to another politician appointed Eknath Astucia. Uddhav then tried to work with matches that believe in secularism and the most progressive ideas, but did not help him win choices.
What is happening now?
Eknath Shinde, who shook on Shiv Sena, became the Prime minister (Cm) or Maharashtra. But after the last elections, the BJP (A great national party) won so many seats that Shindy could not remain cm alone and had to settle for CM Deputy Instead.
Now, rumors say that Uddhav and Raj could repair things and try to bring back the original Shiv Sena spirit. This idea is making Shinde nervously, so nervous that he became agile with a journalist who asked him about it.
What is the big problem?
If the cousins that Thakeray are real again, they could try to bring a political idea called “Marathi First”that focus on the people and culture of Maharashtra. But that won to be easy.
Right now, the BJP He is super strong with his Hindutva nationalist Ideas (which focus on Hindu identity for the whole country), and have won a lot. Uddhav has tried to move towards the center, which means being less extreme, but that has not brought him much success.
What follows?
All are seeing next Mumbai municipal elections – Child of the local government elections – to see what happens. That will show if the Thakkerays come together again are important or if it is only a lot of “emotional talk.”
Maharashtra is watching closely, as a hawk in heaven. Will cousins work together? Can they recover the city? We will discover it soon.
