Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde reacted to Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and MNS president Raj Thackeray's joint rally and said Uddhav's speech was filled with "bitterness" and "jealousy". He added, "(Uddhav) raised no issue concerning the Marathi Manoos. Self-interest and the hunger for power were only visible agendas." Raj and Uddhav reunited at rally after around 20 years.
