The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena continues to bleed due to 'Operation Tiger' after Sindhudurg district Sena chief Sanjay Padte resigned from his post on Tuesday.
Rajan Salvi was defeated in the 2024 Maharashtra assembly elections and lost to Eknath Shinde-led MLA Kiran Samant, from Rajapur assembly constituency in the coastal Konkan region.
M S Bhuvanachandran, founder of Shiv Sena’s Kerala unit, has left the party following disenchantment with the style of working of Uddhav Thackeray.
Shiv Sena (UBT) has unilaterally announced that the party will go solo in the upcoming nagar panchayat, nagar parishad, zilla parishad and municipal corporation elections. Party MP Sanjay Raut announced this here on Saturday.
Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Raut is well known for criticising the BJP and Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis regularly, but he ended up praising Fadnavis on Friday in Mumbai, surprising several political observers.
He said the change of power in the state could have happened with grace and in a dignified manner in 2019 and not with "betrayal".
Shinde said Prime Minister Narendra Modi told him to take the state forward, take it towards development and take forward development works.
The party also took a jibe at Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis asking who was the person who stopped him from taking oath as a Chief Minister.
Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray removed Eknath Shinde who revolted against him and succeeded him as the new Maharashtra Chief Minister from the post of Shiv Sena leader.
Tight police security was provided to these leaders by the state government after arriving at Dabolim airport in the coastal state from Guwahati.
