The foundation day of the Shiv Sena saw a public exchange between factions led by Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray. Rebel MPs were notably absent from the events.
Maharashtra's political landscape witnessed a display of factionalism on the occasion of the Shiv Sena's foundation day. Public statements were exchanged between the group led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and the faction headed by Uddhav Thackeray.
The events highlighted the ongoing political divisions within the party. Notably, Members of Parliament who had previously joined the rebel faction were not in attendance at the foundation day commemorations.
This development occurs in the context of significant political realignments in Maharashtra, following earlier vertical splits in both the Shiv Sena and the Nationalist Congress Party in recent years.
