Why was poll strategist and JD(U) leader Prashant Kishor recently meeting with Shiv Sena's top leadership? Was this about new plans for the upcoming polls — or for national roles after the polls?

Uddhav Thackeray’s Ayodhya visit was strategic in more ways than one.

The tie-up looks formidable on paper. While there are factors working in its favour, it faces serious challenges too.

With the Congress waiting in the wings, managing the present coalition is certainly going to be tough for the BJP.

Any stand the Maharashtra chief minister takes on the quota issue is bound to be seen through the prism of his caste.

This fight was ultimately between Maharashtra CM and Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray.
