There are multiple factors for the rebellion in the ranks in Shiv Sena. The MVA alliance to begin with was one of compulsion, compromises for all the three stake holders. Three years of the Uddhav Thackeray government also saw the unravelling of the Shiv Sena that has attempted an image make over while also trying to compete with the Hindutva bandwagon from the right wing eco system.

Fadnavis’s power lust has become so obviously vulgar now, that people in Maharashtra realise it. My guess is, even if BJP manages to grab the power now, Shivsena will come with majority in next elections which are two years away.

What’s your opinion on MVA’s performance these three years. I don’t think anyone expected a coalition with such diverse ideology ( not to mention the fact that they be at each other’s throats until MVA ) to last this long. Especially in the face of a strong BJP in center and state.

Let us wait and watch...

Back door entry for BJP -- Either they rule by hate and vote -- like UP or if they loose power in vote -- They buy MLAs and break the political structure -- They need to be in power by hook or by crook.

Now Muslims in Maharashtra need to worry -- like UP -- Bulldozers , UAPA, NSA etc are coming for Muslims-- Unfortunately
