In 1989, Uddhav and Rashmi Thackeray tied the knot. Rashmi
Thackeray is a well-known Maharashtrian businesswoman. Although it is
stated that Uddhav Thackeray did not wish to get into politics, his father
Bal Thackeray created the Shiv Sena. Rashmi Thackeray, Uddhav’s
wife, insisted that he enter politics. Rashmi is fully aware of the Shiv
Sena, her party, and many party leaders view her as an organizational
link. Aditya and Tejas are Uddhav and Rashmi’s two sons. Aditya works
as a politician while Tejas takes pictures of animals.
Political Career of Uddhav Thackeray
As an editor for the Shiv Sena magazine Saamana, Uddhav Thackeray
began his political career and was instrumental in advancing the party's
ideas and ideology. Uddhav was appointed Shiv Sena's working
president in 2004, and then he gained total control of the party after his
father Bal Thackeray passed away in 2012. Shiv Sena became a
significant political force in Maharashtra under Uddhav's leadership, and
he has played a key role in the organization's outreach to the people
who do not understand Marathi.
Uddhav tried and failed with the "Me Mumbaikar"(I am Mumbaite)
campaign in 2003. Following this, Uddhav Thackeray was held
accountable for the Shiv Sena's resounding loss in the 2004 assembly
elections. After that, the Thackeray family was divided into two in 2005.
While Raj Thackeray established his party, Uddhav found it difficult to
run the organization. However, Uddhav persisted in going forward and
did not give up. Balasaheb Thackeray's passing in 2012 was a great
loss for the Thackeray family since Shiv Sena also emerged victorious in
the BMC elections.
After the year 2014, Uddhav Thackeray's political outlook changed and
he became more politically active in Maharashtra. After taking office as
Maharashtra's chief minister in November 2019, Uddhav made his way
to the Assembly via the Legislative Council in May 2020. While his son
Aditya Thackeray is the MLA for the Worli Assembly constituency,
Uddhav Thackeray has not yet entered an election. Aditya is the first
person in his family to run for public office in an election. Since 1970, the
Thackeray family has impacted Maharashtra politics. Whether that
means standing up for the rights of the community or uniting behind the
banner of Bhumiputra. The Thackeray family is frequently spotted
supporting the community members.

him. In addition, he is the author of two picture books (Pahava Vitthal,
2011; Maharashtra Desh, 2010). In year 2002, Uddhav Thackeray
began his political career with the BMC elections. Uddhav hasn't looked

including the breakup of his family, the passing of his father, and
disagreements within the party. In 1966, Father Bala Saheb Thackeray
planted the Shiv Sena, a political plant. Bala Saheb gained notoriety

minister because of this plant.
However, because of the party leaders' revolt, Uddhav was unable to
serve out his whole term. In addition to costing Uddhav his chair, this
rebellion split the party in two. Shiv Sena's past reveals that the party
has experienced numerous breakdowns. Whether it was Chhagan
Bhujbal quitting the party in 1995 with eight MLAs, Narayan Rane
quitting with ten MLAs in 2005, or Raj Thackeray, Bal Thackeray's
nephew and a member of the Thackeray family, quitting in 2006. Shiv
Sena's history has been replete with highs and lows.

Uddhav focused on infrastructure development, creating jobs, and state
agricultural reforms during his brief time as chief minister. He also put
several policies into place that raised the average person’s level of living

Thackeray faced some scandals, including those involving his response
to the Covid-19 outbreak and the demolition of allegedly unlawful
buildings in Mumbai. Maharashtra had flooding in 2019, and Uddhav

chief minister.
