MNS president Raj Thackeray had sent a clip of his speech to BJP state president Chandrakant Patil, suggesting an alliance between the two parties. However, Raj Thackeray claimed that he had not sent the clip of the speech to Chandrakant Patil. After that, Chandrakant Patil had said that he would meet Raj Thackeray. Accordingly, BJP state president Chandrakant Patil has gone to meet Raj Thackeray today.

It is understood that there will be a discussion between Raj Thackeray and the BJP state president on the backdrop of the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections. However, there was no proposal from the alliance and it was a friendly meeting, said Chandrakant Patil after the meeting.

The alliance was not discussed during our visit. BJP-MNS alliance for BMC was not discussed today. Today's visit was not political. There has to be a right time for everything. There is no discussion for the alliance without changing the role of migrants issue. We discussed the role of migrants with Raj Thackeray, said Chandrakant Patil.

Chandrakant Patil said that Raj Thackeray invited him to visit Krishnakunj. During the meeting in Nashik, Raj Thackeray had invited him to come home, said Chandrakant Patil.

I am not an egoistic leader. It is a tradition to go home after someone says come home. Before the meeting, Chandrakant Patil had said that even if there is no alliance, there will be friendship, Chandrakant Patil has clarified.

After the meeting between Raj Thackeray and Chandrakant Patil, the reaction of the state leaders has started. Congress leader and revenue minister Balasaheb Thorat has also reacted to the meeting between Raj Thackeray and Chandrakant Patil.

Raj Thackeray may be remembering the 'please play that Video' experiment. Balasaheb Thorat has said that at least Raj Thackeray will not go with the BJP in the future due to the manner in which he has criticized the BJP.

Meanwhile, Raj Thackeray had criticized the BJP the most in his campaign for the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. Raj Thackeray's 'play that video' was a hot topic. But now before the BMC elections, a new political equation like MNS-BJP has started. As part of this, it is being said that the meeting between Chandrakant Patil and Raj Thackeray is going on.
