Senior BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday called on Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray here, sparking off speculation in political circle about a possible tie-up between the two parties ahead of the crucial Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections early next year.
Fadnavis and his wife Amruta met Raj Thackeray, his wife Sharmila at the latter’s new residence ‘Shivteerth’ at Dadar in central Mumbai. All four of them were seen chatting in the balcony of the MNS president’s house. The meeting comes a month after Fadnavis visited Raj Thackeray’s residence to inquire about his health following his hip replacement surgery in July.
Raj Thackeray left his residence at around 6.45 am on Monday and reached Devendra Fadnavis’ residence at around 7.30 am. The meeting, which was kept secret, went on for about an hour between the two leaders.

In the last BMC election, the Congress was relegated to the third position with 31 seats, whereas the NCP and MNS got 9 and 7 seats respectively. Later that year, six out of the seven MNS corporators had joined the Shiv Sena, giving the party an edge over the BJP.
