There is talk of BJP growing closer to Raj Thackeray, who gave birth to loudspeaker controversy in Maharashtra. However, the stand of MNS and Raj Thackeray regarding North Indians is well known, due to which the BJP has been hesitant to take them along.

Raj Thackeray has been accusing the people of UP and Bihar of going to Maharashtra and snatching people’s jobs and carrying out criminal incidents.
