On October 14, 2024, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray was admitted to a Mumbai hospital for a routine medical check-up, as confirmed by his son Aaditya Thackeray. The 63-year-old leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT) faction had been experiencing health issues in recent weeks, prompting concerns about his well-being among his supporters and political allies.
Aaditya Thackeray took to social media to provide a health update, assuring that his father was undergoing routine tests and that there was no cause for alarm. He thanked the public for their concern and requested privacy during this time. Uddhav Thackeray, who played a crucial role in Maharashtra’s political landscape, has kept a relatively low profile since stepping down as chief minister in 2022.
His hospital admission has reignited conversations about the leadership dynamics within the Shiv Sena, with many speculating on Aaditya’s potential rise to a more prominent role in the party. Uddhav Thackeray’s health will be closely monitored as he continues to receive medical care in Mumbai
