Hurt, shock and emotion over logic dictated Uddhav’s resignation

Hindustan Times  

Mumbai: The first indication that Uddhav Thackeray, Maharashtra’s 19th chief minister, was thinking of quitting came on June 22, two days after several Shiv Sena MLAs had cross-voted in the MLC elections in Mumbai, and then fled to Surat in the dark of the night. Mumbai, India - May 11, 2023: Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his deputy Tejashwi Yadav meet Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray at his residence Matoshree, Bandra, in Mumbai, India, on Thursday, May 11, 2023. The Supreme Court in its verdict on Thursday said Thackeray’s resignation meant that the SC would not reinstate Thackeray as chief minister under the “status quo ante” sought by his lawyers. The Sena leadership failed to handle the rebellion in its party and the MVA lost power because Uddhav resigned without a fight.” His resignation in fact complicated matters for Thackeray as Eknath Shinde did not just stop at pulling down his government but even took over the party.
