Maha Vikas Aghadi government came to power in Maharashtra in 2019. But within two and a half years, the MLAs who joined the Shiv Sena rebelled under the leadership of Eknath Shinde.

Eknath Shinde’s group along with 50 MLAs joined hands with BJP and formed the government. So who exactly is Shiv Sena now? Who exactly will the leadership of Shiv Sena go to? Such questions have been now doing the rounds.

At the same time, Raj Thackeray reacted to the decision to hand over the leadership of Shiv Sena to Uddhav Thackeray in the Mahabaleshwar convention. He told about the exact question that Raj asked Balasaheb after handing over the post of party chief to Uddhav.

It was Raj Thackeray himself who proposed that Uddhav Thackeray should be given the post of party chief in the Mahabaleshwar Shiv Sena convention. I have no regrets about this proposal, said Raj Thackeray.

“Balasaheb Thackeray presented the position of Hindutva. We should learn from Balasaheb Thackeray what intense Hinduism is. Now people should see who is keeping this thought of Balasaheb alive”, Raj also explained.

Raj criticized that “These people are hypocrites. They use Balasaheb’s name and take as much as they can. Later, when they were hit, they would sit like this. They were sick earlier, they did not even go to the Ministry, but now they go to the Shiv Sena Bhavan”.

“I don’t want to go into anyone’s personal life or anyone’s family. But this should be considered,” he criticized Uddhav in an interview

Then Raj Thackeray revealed another secret. After giving Uddhav the responsibility of party chief, he told one thing.“Now what is my role in the party? What is my responsibility?” I asked this question to Balasaheb Thackeray. “Because I didn’t agree that I would go out only during speeches and sit quietly at other times,” Raj explained.

Years after being sidelined by Bal Thackeray's other leaders working for him, the disillusioned Thackeray resigned from Shiv Sena on 27th November 2005 and announced his intention to start a new political party. On 9 March 2006 in Mumbai, Thackeray founded Maharashtra Navnirman Sena
