Sulking Shiv Sena (UBT) leader blames partymen for Assembly poll defeat

Deccan Chronicle  

Mumbai: After a crushing defeat in the Maharashtra Vidhan Sabha polls, the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena may face a big jolt as speculations are rife that a senior leader and former MLA Rajan Salvi is on the verge of leaving the party and joining the BJP. According to sources, Salvi is upset with his party leaders after his defeat in the Vidhan Sabha elections to the rival Shiv Sena candidate Kiran Samant. Though Salvi said that he is not going to quit Shiv Sena, he also clarified that he would take the decision at an ‘appropriate time.’ Salvi had represented the Rajapur constituency in the coastal Konkan belt since 2009 but was defeated by Kiran Samant in the November 2024 Vidhan Sabha elections. However, Sena UBT MP Sanjay Raut said that Salvi is a dedicated member of Shiv Sena and is unlikely to leave the party.
