Op India  

The state of Maharashtra has been in a state of confusion ever since the Assembly Election results were announced. If one recalls, even earlier, Shiv Sena MLAs were disgruntled with Uddhav Thackeray sacrificing party interests for the Chief Minister’s post either for Aditya Thackeray or himself. Uddhav first met Sonia Gandhi and tried to convince her that all was well in Shiv Sena and that all the MLAs were with him and the Congress. Read: Shiv Sena MLAs get into an abusive argument over Uddhav Thackeray’s insistence on CM post: Reports Post the meeting with Sonia Gandhi, Uddhav Thackeray addressed a meeting of NCP MLAs and tried to convince them that everything was in control. Sources say that for Congress, allying with Shiv Sena is a financial decision more than a political decision as if Maharashtra had gone for re-election, Congress and NCP would stand to gain the most.
