Uddhav Thackeray’s ‘secret’ lift meeting with Fadnavis triggers speculations in Maharashtra

While the “unexpected" conversation between the two leaders sparked speculations of the parties realigning, Thackeray dismissed it as a casual conversation.

On the first day of the state legislature's monsoon session, Fadnavis and Thackeray found themselves waiting for the lift together. A viral video shows the two leaders exchanging some words.

The two former Maharashtra chief ministers were seen having a conversation while waiting for the lift in the state assembly, with many wondering what they talked about. While speaking to the media, Thackeray said on a lighter note that it's good that “lifts don't have ears”, and he is looking forward to more such “secret meetings”.
