Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray is working to build a comprehensive alliance for the upcoming Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections, hoping to include both MVA partners and his cousin Raj Thackeray's MNS party. However, Congress has declared its intention to contest independently and opposes any coalition that includes MNS, creating a significant challenge for opposition unity in Maharashtra.
