Shiv Sena Split Case News Today

The Shiv Sena (UBT) has targeted Maharashtra assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar for recognising Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led party as the "real" Shiv Sena, claiming the Constitution has been trampled upon by recognising a "gang of thieves." The UBTs editorial in Saamana alleged that Narwekars decision to hand over Bal Thackerays Shiv Sena to "traitors" amounts to indulging in "dishonesty with Maharashtra".

NCP chief Sharad Pawar said the Maharashtra assembly speaker's verdict in the Shiv Sena MLAs' disqualification case, which ruled that Chief Minister Eknath Shinde was the "real Shiv Sena", was "not at all surprising".

Maharashtra Legislative Assembly speaker Rahul Narwekar declares Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena as the real political party in a setback for Uddhav Thackerays faction.

More than a year after the Shiv Sena split in 2022, the Uddhav Thackeray section still derives its powers from the grassroots, through its shakhas and the organisational outreach it gives. The other faction, led by Eknath Shinde is devoid of such an advantage and is hopeful of putting up a similar network.

The deadline set by the Supreme Court for delivering the verdict in Shiv Sena split case was December 31, 2023
