Saving chair 1st of many challenges for Maha CM Uddhav Thackeray

Hindustan Times  

Bandu Shingre, Dr Hemchandra Gupte, Chhagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane and Raj Thackeray -- the number of those who rebelled against the Shiv Sena is big, but what sets apart the mutiny launched by Eknath Shinde is the vertical split in the organisation that it has induced, and the dent it has dealt to the aura of infallibility around chief minister and party president Uddhav Thackeray. At the heart of the challenge lies the identity of the party – Shinde and his supporters have staked claim to the mantle of the “real” Shiv Sena and the legacy of its late supremo Bal Thackeray, claiming Uddhav had diluted the Hindutva credentials by aligning with the “secular” Congress and Nationalist Congress Party in an “unnatural alliance”. Uddhav’s biggest challenge is to break this mutiny using the power of the common Shiv Sainiks, maintain the separate existence of the party in the legislature, and re-assert his command over the organisation,” said a Sena leader, asking not to be named. This person said Uddhav will have to hold on to power in the BMC, win the bypoll to the Andheri East assembly segment, and ensure that Shinde’s pocket borough of Thane, where the party struck roots soon after it was formed in 1966, remains a Shiv Sena bastion.
