Maharashtra’s political history appears poised to repeat its own lessons once again. The internal strife within the Shiv Sena, shifting stances of the NCP, and Congress’s strategies are rekindling memories of past events. Just as in the past, discussions have now begun about whether political parties will unite and move forward together this time around.
Cracks have surfaced within the Shiv Sena government led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, sparking a rebellion against Shinde, who was once a member of the family of the party’s founder, Balasaheb Thackeray. Former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and his supporters have reached a stage where they are pushing to expel Shinde from the party. This development brings back memories of the Shiv Sena’s split in 2022. Back then, the faction led by Uddhav Thackeray had joined hands with the BJP. Now, speculation is rife over whether a similar scenario could unfold once more.
