Is Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT) breaking away from MVA? Early signs of a split after Maharashtra poll debacle

Live Mint  

Cracks have started appearing in the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi of Maharashtra days after its humiliating defeat at the hands of Mahayuti in the Assembly elections. Former Chief Minster Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena is reportedly facing a pressure from its leaders to quit the alliance, if at all it wants to secure a safe political future. The MVA, comprising the Shiv Sena, the Congress and Sharad Pawar's NCP-SP, failed to repeat its Lok Sabha poll performance bagging just 46 seats in the 288-member Maharashtra assembly. “Many of our MLAs feel it is time for the Shiv Sena to forge an independent path, contest elections on its own, and not depend on any alliance. The Shiv Sena was never meant to chase power… It will come naturally when we remain steadfast in our ideology,” Ambadas Danve, the Leader of Opposition in the Maharashtra Legislative Council, told The Indian Express, adding that going independent would help the Shiv Sena ‘build on its foundation.’ The Shiv Sena-BJP alliance collapsed in 2019 and Uddhav Thackeray joined hands with the Congress and the NCP to form the MVA.
