Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Friday called up his estranged nephew and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray, a day after the BJP ended its 25-year-old alliance with his party.<br /><br />Although both Sena and MNS have officially denied reports, a close member of the Thackeray family confirmed that the call was made from Matoshri, Uddhav's residence, to Raj. It is the second call made to an ailing MNS chief in a fortnight from Uddhav.<br /><br />"There is no possibility of a pre-poll alliance, but all options are open," the source said.<br /><br />The Maharashtra BJP on Thursday called off its 25-year-old alliance with the Shiv Sena, two days before the deadline for filing of nomination for the October 15 Assembly elections ends.<br /><br />Raj was considered the successor to Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray, who, in a controversial decision in 2006, selected his son Uddhav instead. Raj left the family to launch his own party, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena.<br /><br />Uddhav and Raj, who were last seen together when Bal Thackeray died in 2012, have since then rejected any reconciliation.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />For More information on this news visit: http://www.itvnewsindia.com/<br />For More information on this news, visit: http://www.itvnewsindia.com/hindi<br />Connect with us on Social platform at: http://www.facebook.com/InformationTV<br />Subscribe to our You Tube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/itvnewsindia
