Shinde emphasized that all of them are committed to advancing Balasaheb's vision and strengthening the Shiv Sena.

Despite remaining loyal to Thackeray after the Shiv Sena split, Salvi was reportedly unhappy with local party leadership. He has now resigned as deputy leader of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) and is expected to join Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena on Thursday afternoon in the presence of the Deputy Chief Minister. However, there are concerns over the Samant brothers' dissatisfaction with Salvi's entry into the party, and it remains to be seen how Shinde will handle the situation.
