MNS chief responds amid KDMC support row

Mumbai, Jan 23 (UNI) Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) chief Raj Thackeray on Friday said that even if he adopts a slightly flexible political stance in today’s changed political environment, it would never be for personal gain or selfish interests.
His remarks in a social media post came two days after five MNS corporators extended support to the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in the Kalyan-Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC) in Thane district, a move that triggered political speculation and drew criticism from allies ahead of the election for the mayoral post.
The development raised eyebrows as the MNS had contested the January 15 civic elections in alliance with the Shiv Sena (UBT) in several municipal corporations across Maharashtra, including KDMC and Mumbai. The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena publicly expressed disappointment over the decision of MNS corporators to side with the rival faction.
