Will Uddhav Thackeray leave MVA after Maharashtra assembly election defeat?

Hindustan Times

Ambadas Danve, Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council and senior Shiv Sena leader, acknowledged on Wednesday the growing sentiment within the party for independent contestation. Some party leaders suggest the Mahayuti successfully created a perception among traditional Sena voters that the Thackeray faction was courting Muslim votes, potentially explaining why Thackeray's emotional appeal regarding "traitors who split the Shiv Sena" failed to resonate with voters.
