The Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday said that his party will rally behind Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, a descendant of Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, to make him victorious in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, reported the PTI.

Though the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) is yet to finalise its seat-sharing arrangement for the April-May polls, Uddhav Thackeray said that Shahu Maharaj will be the opposition alliance's candidate from Kolhapur in southwestern Maharashtra, according to the PTI.
