Fadnavis Slams Raut: 'Thackeray Family Can't Shut Mumbai Now'

• Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut claimed the Thackeray family can still shut down Mumbai in minutes, ahead of the 2026 BMC elections.
• Raut's statement followed the reunion of Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray after 20 years, which he called a family reconciliation.
• CM Devendra Fadnavis dismissed Raut's claim as a 'hollow threat,' stating such power existed only when Bal Thackeray was alive.
• Fadnavis referenced Eknath Shinde's rise, highlighting the Shiv Sena split and the current government formation.
• Raut emphasized the Thackeray family as a 'brand' and signaled political unity, stating, 'The Mayor will be ours' for BMC 2026.
