Shiv Sena leaders Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray have announced a joint march in Mumbai scheduled for October 4.
Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray, heads of the two factions of Shiv Sena, confirmed that they will organise a public march in Mumbai on October 4. The rally is set to begin from the party headquarters and proceed through key city arteries, culminating at a designated venue where leaders will address supporters.
The joint march marks a rare convergence of the rival factions that split after the 2022 leadership dispute. By coming together for a single demonstration, the brothers aim to project unity on issues affecting the city and the state, while also signalling a coordinated political front ahead of upcoming local elections.
City police have been informed and are preparing to manage crowds along the planned route. Officials anticipate a sizable turnout, given the Thackerays' strong grassroots networks in Mumbai and surrounding suburbs. Security arrangements include barricades, traffic diversions and deployment of additional personnel to ensure public safety.
Both leaders have urged citizens to participate peacefully and have emphasized that the march will focus on civic concerns such as infrastructure, public transport and employment. Their statements underscore a strategic effort to rally support ahead of the next electoral cycle, while also attempting to heal the rift that has long divided Shiv Sena supporters.
