BJP's Dilemma: Supporting Raj Thackeray's Son in Maharashtra Assembly Elections

ABP News  

The Bharatiya Janata Party's support for Raj Thackeray's son Amit Thackeray in the upcoming Maharashtra Assembly elections is a double-edged sword for the Mahayuti. The Mahayuti has been plagued by a horde of rebelling senior leaders, but now it is facing friction with one of its oldest allies — the Shiv Sena. The Shiv Sena's decision to support Amit Thackeray could potentially split the Marathi votes, which could benefit the BJP. However, the BJP would also need to convince the Shiv Sena to pull out of the race and extend support to Amit Thackeray. Additionally, the BJP would have to justify its decision to support a candidate who has been critical of the party in the past.
