Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Thursday visited MNS president Raj Thackeray's residence in Dadar area of central Mumbai on the occasion of Ganesh festival 2025, a day after his arch rival and Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray paid a visit to his cousin, reported the PTI.

Talking to reporters, Eknath Shinde took a veiled dig at Uddhav, saying that while he comes to Raj Thackeray's residence every year some new people were seen there this time.

He said no political inference should be drawn from his visit to the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief's residence.
