Cross-Camp Optics Stir Buzz in Maharashtra Politics: Thackeray Faction Under Scrutiny

• Recent cross-camp appearances involving Aaditya Thackeray and Thackeray faction leaders are sparking political chatter in Maharashtra.
• Aaditya Thackeray attended an event hosted by BJP leader Mohit Kamboj, followed by Thackeray camp MPs at a function with Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leader Prataprao Jadhav.
• These interactions challenge the Thackeray faction's consistent oppositional stance against BJP and Shinde-led Sena, creating ambiguity.
• For the ruling side, such optics suggest political lines are less rigid, hinting at potential backchannel communication.
• The timing is crucial, with recent civic elections, suggesting these meetings could be for smooth functioning and developmental funds.
