Shiv Sena has 55 MLAs in the Assembly. But Eknath Shinde, a Shiv Sena group leader and a staunch Shiv Sainik, initially pushed back and revolted with some MLAs and left for Surat. Since then, there has been a huge increase in pro-Shinde MLAs in the last two days.

It is learned that Eknath Shinde's group has got 46 MLAs so far. Pro-Shinde MLAs are currently staying at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Guwahati. After the split in Shiv Sena, Chief Minister Thackeray addressed the people on Wednesday.

As per the promise given by Uddhav Thackeray, Varsha left the residence on Wednesday night and reached Matoshri. Shiv Sainiks also warmly welcomed Uddhav Thackeray. Discussions started that Uddhav Thackeray left his 'Varsha' residence and came on the backfoot.

Although Uddhav Thackeray has left Varsha as his official residence, he is well aware of the importance of Matoshri, who has been the center of state politics. Therefore, Uddhav Thackeray may have an idea that it would be more accurate to plan the next tactic by staying at Matoshree,

This is not the first time there has been a revolt in the Shiv Sena. But the current uprising is certainly the biggest uprising in history. Therefore, Uddhav Thackeray has accepted the entire responsibility of splitting the MLAs of the party of which we are the leader.

During Chhagan Bhujbal's revolt, the atmosphere in Shiv Sena had deteriorated tremendously. Taking advantage of the atmosphere, disgruntled and disgruntled leaders began to speak openly. Madhav Deshpande was at the forefront. He was a leader since the establishment of Shiv Sena. Throughout your life you have been a member of the dynasty

Balasaheb Thackeray's anger had erupted after this. He had pushed for direct resignation. In the front page of 'Saamana', Balasaheb said, 'Shiv Sena is not our or our family's private property. While saying goodbye, the mind is suffering from innumerable torments, with tears in its eyes.

As soon as Balasaheb announced that he was stepping down from the post of Shiv Sena party chief, thousands of Shiv Sainiks were on fire. The next day the meeting was very crowded. Shiv Sainiks embraced Balasaheb and after that Balasaheb became the head of Shiv Sena respecting his feelings.

The manner in which Balasaheb had shown the courage to resign had touched the feelings of Shiv Sainiks. In the same way, Uddhav Thackeray also expressed his readiness to resign from the post of Chief Minister and party chief through Facebook Live.

The general sentiment of Shiv Sainiks is that the party leadership should remain with the Thackeray family. Shiv Sainiks had also taken to the streets in Mumbai yesterday in support of Uddhav Thackeray. Therefore, even if the MLAs split, let Uddhav Thackeray realize that ordinary Shiv Sainiks are with him

With the return of 'Matoshri', it has become easier for Uddhav Thackeray to devise political maneuvers. Uddhav Thackeray can be shown that 'Matoshri' is now the center of Shiv Sena without getting entangled in government dilemma and ideology.
