It is being alleged that the Shinde group is trying to take over the Shiv Sena. The Shinde group has approached the Central Election Commission saying that we are the Shiv Sena party. On the other hand, there is a discussion going on that a Shiv Sena Bhavan will be constructed in Dadar by the Shinde group.
