Fadnavis Mocks Thackeray Alliance for BMC Polls: 'Saving Political Existence'

• Uddhav Thackeray (Shiv Sena UBT) and Raj Thackeray (MNS) announced an alliance for the upcoming BMC elections on January 15.
• CM Devendra Fadnavis dismissed the alliance, stating it's to "save their political existence" and will have no significant impact.
• Fadnavis criticized the Thackeray brothers, citing a track record of corruption and misgovernance, and questioned their claim as sole Marathi representatives.
• He asserted Mumbai will support the Mahayuti government's performance and vision, emphasizing genuine Hindutva over political opportunism.
• BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari called it an alliance of "two dynastic parties" formed out of "fear of defeat" in the BMC polls.

Why It Matters: Fadnavis and BJP dismiss the Thackeray brothers' BMC alliance as a desperate move to survive politically.
