The much-discussed alliance between the Thackeray brothers in Maharashtra is likely to be announced at 12 noon tomorrow, December 24. This development could reshape the state’s political landscape. Strong signals about the timing came after a social media post by Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) MP Sanjay Raut, which has intensified political buzz.
On social media, Sanjay Raut shared a photograph of Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray standing together. He added only three words: “Tomorrow at 12 noon.” Though brief, the message has been widely seen as a clear hint that the formal announcement of the alliance will take place at that time. Soon after the post, political circles across Maharashtra became active with speculation and discussion.
For several days, talks have been underway between the Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) and the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). Both parties have been exploring the possibility of joining hands. A few days ago, Raut said that discussions on seat sharing had already been completed. Since then, it was believed that the alliance could be announced at any moment. Now, the latest signals suggest that the wait may be over.

Shiv Sena-MNS show of strength
According to reports, the Thackeray brothers may make a strong show of unity during the announcement.
This alliance could pose a challenge to the ruling grand alliance, especially ahead of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation elections. If the Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) and MNS contest together, the political equation in Mumbai could change significantly. The possible consolidation of Marathi voters has drawn attention across Maharashtra, making this alliance one of the most closely watched political moves in recent times.
