Shinde camp settles Sena versus Sena debate
Hindustan Times|November 24, 2024
In a decisive verdict after the bitter split in the Shiv Sena in June 2022, the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena can finally claim the title of the "real" Sena – the party won 57 of the 81 seats it contested in the Maharashtra assembly, battering the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), which managed just 20 of the 95 it contested.

Shinde camp settles Sena versus Sena debate

It's a victory of a magnitude that allows Shinde to convincingly establish his claim to the legacy of the Shiv Sena ideology. It also re-establishes Shinde's Sena as one of the strongest allies of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

When Shinde split the undivided Sena in 2022, he took 40 MLAs and some Independents with him, leading to the collapse of the Uddhav Thackeray-led government in the state. Shinde then joined the BJP to form a new government as chief minister. The battle between him and Thackeray has since been a bitter one, with both Uddhav, the son of Sena founder Bal Thackeray, and Shinde, who claims to be Bal Thackeray's ideological legatee, claiming that their respective factions best represent the party and its values.

In the Sena vs Sena fight in these elections, the two factions went head to head in 51 assembly constituencies across the state.
