Raj Thackeray accused the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of threatening people at gunpoint to join them. He claimed that Ajit Pawar joined the ruling alliance not for development as he claimed but to avoid being jailed on corruption charges.
MNS spokesperson Sandeep Deshpande said, “The state is redeveloping the BDD chawls and the Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority is giving one parking space for every two flats. Also, we want more corpus funds for the buildings.’’
Speculation about a possible alliance between estranged Thackeray cousins Raj and Uddhav has been triggered by a meeting between Sanjay Raut and Abhijit Panse.
