Uddhav was accompanied by MLA Aaditya Thackeray, along with other Sena UBT politicians, for the meeting which took place in the chamber of council chairperson Ram Shinde. The meeting lasted about half an hour.

MLAs Aditya Thackeray, Bhaskar Jadhav, Sunil Prabhu, Ajay Chaudhary, Varun Sardesai, and MLC Milind Narvekar, among others, were present," the Sena (UBT) said in its post.
On Wednesday, speaking at the farewell function for the leader of opposition in the council, UBT Sena's Ambadas Danve, the CM, in a tongue-in-cheek remark, told Uddhav Thackeray that the BJP was not likely to join him in the opposition, but he could come over to the ruling side.

"Uddhavji, there is no scope (for a change in govt) till 2029. We do not have the scope to come to the other (opposition's) side. You have the scope to come here, and it can be thought about. We can think about it differently," Fadnavis had said.

(AI image) US-China trade deal: The world's two largest economies are expected to extend their current reciprocal tariff truce by another 90 days, according to a Reuters report quoting South China Morning Post. Another round of trade deal negotiations between the Donald Trump administration and China will take place in Stockholm on Monday. The current pause on reciprocal tariffs ends on August 12. The report said that the two sides may agree to another 3-month truce as they agree as trade deal negotiations continue. The report indicates that during this 90-day extension period, both nations will commit to refraining from implementing new tariffs or taking additional measures that could intensify the ongoing trade dispute. During recent meetings in Geneva and London that centred on "de-escalation", the upcoming discussions will see Chinese representatives addressing fentanyl-related tariffs with Trump's trade officials, the Reuters report said.
