00:00Dear viewers, when was the last time you saw a press release, a letter or an invite signed by both Raj Thakere and Uddhav Thakere?

00:08Probably never, maybe decades ago, but now the unthinkable is happening.

00:13Raj and Uddhav are almost coming together and the July 5th rally at Varai Dome, it's just the beginning.

00:20For the first time in 20 years, the Thakere cousins will share a stage calling Marathi people to celebrate a small win

00:27while hinting at a much bigger fight ahead.

00:31The Maharashtra government has withdrawn the GR that would have made Hindi a mandatory third language in schools

00:37and it happened right after the two Senas announced their joint rally.

00:42So why does this Uddhav Raj alliance matter?

00:44Because if it truly takes shape, it could shake up Maharashtra's politics.

00:49And that's exactly why Mahayuti is worried.

00:51Today on Honest Take With Me Tejas, we break down 5 reasons why Mahayuti fears the Raj-Uddhav alliance.

00:59But before we dive in, don't forget to subscribe to Lokhmad Times and hit the bell icon so you never miss stories that matter.

01:06So let's get started.

01:07Reason number 1. Consolidation of the Marathi Manus vote.

01:11Both Raj and Uddhav Thakere have always projected themselves as voices of the Marathi Manus.

01:16After the Hindi language policy fiasco, this unity signals that Marathi interests will not be ignored.

01:23Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Nashik, urban centers where Marathi pride still matters could now rally behind these two Thakres.

01:31And Mahayuti knows, if this vote consolidates, it can directly hit their urban strongholds.

01:37Reason number 2. Revival of legacy and emotional connect.

01:40This alliance is more than politics. It is nostalgia.

01:43It reminds people of Barasayb's aggressive pro-Marathi stance.

01:48It brings back the emotional connect that many felt had faded after the Shiv Sena split.

01:53For voters disillusioned with political deals, this reunion could look like a return to genuine Marathi pride.

02:00And Mahayuti's attempt to claim that legacy using Eknat Chinde, it suddenly looks hollow.

02:05Reason number 3. Street power and protest capability.

02:08Let's be real. The government did not withdraw the trilingual GR out of kindness.

02:14It was the protest, the fear of mass agitation, the public pressure that forced them to bend.

02:19Raj and Uddhav together can bring crowds to the streets, create momentum on issues and force the government to act.

02:27Mahayuti fears this because it exposes their vulnerability.

02:30That in the streets, they cannot control the narrative.

02:33Reason number 4. Threat to Mahayuti's urban fortresses, especially Mumbai.

02:38The BMC elections are around the corner.

02:41Historically, the Shiv Sena ruled Mumbai's civic body, while MNS held influence in some key pockets.

02:47Now imagine a united Thakre front contesting BMC polls.

02:51It could rally anti-BJP, anti-NCP, anti-Shinde votes.

02:55Congress has already announced to contest elections separately, leaving open the field for Thakre alliance.

03:01This will make it extremely difficult for Mahayuti to retain control over Mumbai and other corporations.

03:07Internal reports are already warning Mahayuti leaders.

03:11If Raj and Uddhav truly unite, it's a serious threat.

03:14And the final, reason number 5.

03:17Undermining Mahayuti's Hindutva narrative.

03:19Mahayuti has tried to own the Hindutva narrative, especially after splitting the Shiv Sena.

03:24But Raj's aggressive Hindutva rhetoric, combined with Uddhav's balanced regional narrative,

03:30can reclaim both the Hindutva and Marathi pride planks.

03:33This unity exposes Mahayuti's contradictions, weakening their claim to be the true torchbearers of these ideologies.

03:41Here is the bottom line.

03:42The July 5th rally at Varayi Dome is not just about celebration.

03:46It's a warning shot.

03:47A shot that shows the Marathi vote can unite.

03:50That legacy and emotions still matter in politics.

03:54That street protests can force governments to back down.

03:57That Mumbai's elections could slip from Mahayuti's hands.

04:00That Hindutva and Marathi pride are not their exclusive property.

04:04And if Raj and Uddhav truly decide to stick together, Mahayuti's fear is justified.

04:10Because politics in Maharashtra is about to get interesting.
