Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis’ announcement of a memorial to the late Shiv Sena founder, Bal Thackeray, to be built at the mayor’s bungalow in Shivaji Park appears to be the first sign

Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis’ announcement of a memorial to the late Shiv Sena founder, Bal Thackeray, to be built at the mayor’s bungalow in Shivaji Park appears to be the first sign of a possible thaw in its strained ties with the Sena.

The electoral reverses in the just-concluded Kalyan-Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KDMC) and Bihar Assembly polls seem to have brought the BJP back to its senses.
