Eknath Shinde

With Uddhav lacking fire, Aaditya being a novice and Raj Thackeray giving a thumbs up to BJP-Shinde, Shiv Sena’s fall has just begun.

Facing a revolt within his own ranks, Uddhav Thackeray resigned as Chief Minister of Maharashtra. He also resigned from Maharashtra Council.

Hindu votes are divided in Maharashtra and BJP needs the maximum to reach the magic figure in the assembly on its own. Rebel Eknath Shinde is just a pawn in a bigger game.

To avoid anti-defection, Shinde needs 37 MLAs and reports suggest that he may get that number with BJP leaving no stones unturned to achieve it.
