He said that we have no information about the alliance with Raj (MNS) cousin Uddhav Thackeray. I do not want to comment on a decision that has not been taken yet. This is his family matter. If both cousins join hands then we have no objection, but we have to take a political decision about whether there will be an alliance or not.
