Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to hold a meeting at Shivaji Park in Mumbai on May 17. The event will also see the presence of MNS chief Raj Thackeray. The upcoming meeting has spurred activities in Mumbai, with much anticipation surrounding the statements that will be made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Raj Thackeray. Ahead of the meeting, BJP state president Chandrashekhar Bawankule met with Raj Thackeray.
Discussions between the two leaders reportedly covered the meeting's agenda, focusing on Hinduism and Marathi votes. BJP's efforts to attract Marathi votes in Mumbai with Raj Thackeray's support are evident.
