Nashik, Aug. 15 -- Shiv Sena UBT leader Sanjay Raut on Friday said that his party chief Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray will unite for the upcoming municipal elections.

"Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray will contest municipal elections together and win. The combined strength of Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, along with the unity of the Marathi people, is the key to victory in elections," Sanjay Raut said.

In July, Shiv Sena (UBT) Chief Uddhav Thackeray and MNS chief Raj Thackeray shared a stage at the Worli Dome in Mumbai as they held a joint rally after the Maharashtra government scrapped two Government Resolutions (GRs) to introduce Hindi as the third language.
