As Uddhav-Shinde Sena Saga Turns Into Pari-War, A Look at Maharashtra's First Family & Shifting Loyalties

News 18  

In a first, Mumbai decked up for parallel Dussehra rallies on Wednesday as the two Shiv Sena factions — one led by former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray and the other by his successor and bête noire Eknath Shinde — made yet another attempt to gain legitimacy and supporters in a power tussle that had brought Maharashtra to its knees. Sharing the stage with Shinde were Uddhav’s elder brother Jaidev, his estranged wife Smita and nephew Nihar — the son of late Bindumadhav Thackeray, Uddhav’s eldest brother. Bal Thackeray’s other son is Uddhav, the former chief minister of Maharashtra, who lost his chair to Shinde’s rebellion which engineered a vertical split in the Sena. Shinde also met Raj last month amid BJP’s efforts to warm up to the MNS to counter the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena in the forthcoming civic body elections.
