Raul was Mumbai's Mayor from 2007-2009. She had earlier met Maharashtra Minister Ashish Shelar after resigning from Shiv Sena (UBT)
BJP leaders Pravin Darekar, Gopal Shetty were among the leaders who attended the rally on Sunday
Speaking at the rally, Fadnavis said Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray and his cousin and MNS head Raj Thackeray have come together ahead of the Mumbai municipal corporation elections as they fear the ruling Mahayuti alliance in the state, led by BJP
"This is not a preeti sangam, but a bheeti sangam (the cousins have come together not out of love but out of fear)," Fadnavis said, addressing a campaign rally in north Mumbai on Sunday night
