Ever since the Shinde-Fadnavis government has come to power in the state, the closeness of the ruling party to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) has not been hidden. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis visited MNS chief Raj Thackeray's residence in the last six months since the swearing-in ceremony. Both the leaders have good relations with Raj Thackeray. Also, after the 2019 assembly elections, Raj Thackeray has openly raised the issue of Hindutva and has indirectly challenged Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray.
