Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray on Friday called up his estranged nephew and Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray, a day after the BJP ended its 25-year-old alliance with his party.

Although both Sena and MNS have officially denied reports, a close member of the Thackeray family confirmed that the call was made from Matoshri, Uddhav's residence, to Raj. It is the second call made to an ailing MNS chief in a fortnight from Uddhav.

"There is no possibility of a pre-poll alliance, but all options are open," the source said.

The Maharashtra BJP on Thursday called off its 25-year-old alliance with the Shiv Sena, two days before the deadline for filing of nomination for the October 15 Assembly elections ends.

Raj was considered the successor to Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray, who, in a controversial decision in 2006, selected his son Uddhav instead. Raj left the family to launch his own party, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena.

Uddhav and Raj, who were last seen together when Bal Thackeray died in 2012, have since then rejected any reconciliation.
