He is also expected to meet Congress interim chief Sonia Gandhi, Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP veteran LK Advani in Delhi.
The meetings will take place amid strain between Thackeray and alliance partners – the Nationalist Congress Party and the Congress – over a host of issues, including their disparate stand on the National Population Register and the Citizenship Amendment Act.
