Mumbai: Maharashtra CM and Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray is going through the toughest phase of his life. Uddhav Thackeray has a challenge to save the Shiv Sena. The threat posed to Uddhav after veteran party leader Eknath Shinde took a rebellious stand. Eknath Shinde has claimed that he has the support of 46 MLAs. In such a situation, the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government is considered to be determined to go out of power. If the MVA goes out of power, the CM will also be removed from the front of Uddhav's name.
The threat that the Shiv Sena has faced is not new. He's gone through this before. 30 years ago, in 1992, there was a crisis over the existence of the Shiv Sena, when Uddhav Thackeray's father Balasaheb Thackeray pulled the party out of that crisis. In the present situation, Uddhav's tevar is looking the same as Balasaheb. For the first time amidst the political crisis in the state, he came out on Wednesday and addressed the people through Facebook Live. Uddhav made it clear that for him, the party is first and he is not infatuated with the CM's post. Uddhav Thackeray said that he is ready to step down as shiv sena chief as well.
Uddhav Thackeray reminded him of Balasaheb Thackeray with his statement. In fact, in 1992, Balasaheb Thackeray's partner Madhav Deshpande had levelled several allegations. He had made interference in the party of Uddhav Thackeray and Raj Thackeray an issue. In such a situation, Balasaheb had written an article in the Shiv Sena's mouthpiece Saamana. In this article, Balasaheb had said that if any Shiv Sainik comes before him and says that he has left the party because of the Thackeray family, he will step down as president at the same time. With this, his entire family will be separated from the Shiv Sena forever. Lakhs of Shiv Sena workers took to the streets after reading Balasaheb Thackeray's article. Some activists even threatened to give their lives. A crowd of thousands of people gathered outside Matoshree. Then, the Shiv Sena leadership got involved in convincing Balasaheb Thackeray.
