Maharashtra Deputy CM and Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde on Thursday, January 23, warned the Uddhav Thackeray faction’s Shiv Sena (UBT). He has clearly said that if Shiv Sena (UBT) does not stop criticizing his party and Mahayuti, then only two MLAs out of the current 20 will remain in the Uddhav Thackeray-led party.
According to a PTI report, on his visit to ‘Anand Ashram’ to pay tribute to Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray and his guru Anand Dighe on their birth anniversary, Eknath Shinde said, “The people of the state gave a befitting reply to Shiv Sena (UBT) in last year’s assembly elections and it is time for them to introspect.”

The Maharashtra Deputy CM also said, “From day one, the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), especially Shiv Sena (UBT), has been criticising me and the Mahayuti, but nothing worked and the people of the state gave them a befitting reply and showed them their place. If this continues, they will come down from 20 to zero.”
He said, “A large number of workers and leaders of the opposition parties, especially Shiv Sena (UBT), have joined our Shiv Sena in recent times and this trend will continue. Some workers and leaders from other states have also joined Shiv Sena and the demand for Shiv Sena is increasing. In the coming days, Shiv Sena will open branches in other states.”
