Mumbai/IBNS: In an explosive claim ahead of the Lok Sabha Election result, Maharashtra BJP leader Ravi Rana said that Uddhav Thackeray will be back with the NDA within 15 days after the results, media reports said.

Amravati MLA Ravi Rana, husband of BJP Lok Sabha candidate Navneet Rana, said he is confident about what he claimed.

As soon as Narendra Modi becomes the prime minister again, Uddav Thackeray will be seen with Modi, he was quoted as saying by the Hindustan Times.

The claim made a huge buzz in Maharashtra politics as exit polls indicated good results for the Uddhav Sena in the first election after Shiv Sena was split.

Uddhav Sena leader Anand Dubey, however, said the claim is like daydreaming.

"Results are yet to come. No one knows who is winning, and who is losing. The way Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena emerged as a major player in Maharashtra, these people are panicked. Navneet Rana and Ravi Rana have been speaking against our party since the beginning," Dubey was quoted as saying by HT.

"They hate our party. We don't take their statements seriously. They do not have the stature to comment on Uddav ji and Modi ji. You are a lamp and our party is like the Sun. Keep your honour with you," he said.

Uddhav Thackeray's Sena is part of the INDIA bloc along with the Congress and the NCP of Sharad Pawar faction.

Uddhav allied with the Congress leaving ideological differences aside in 2019 to form the government in Maharashtra.
