Signs of split is evident but Raut says ‘no divide’

MUMBAI: The ongoing political tussle in Maharashtra is getting interesting day by day.

If on one side there is the news of Shiv Sena and Congress-Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) alliance, then on the other there are reports of sign of split within the party.

If reports are to be believed, Shiv Sena’s alliance with Congress and NCP is not going well with the party MLAs and therefore in such a situation, there will be the possibility of a split in the party.

According to Deccan Chronicle reports, MLA Abdul Sattar threatened to resort to violence if attempts were made to break his party.

However, on Wednesday, Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut while addressing a press briefing clarified that there was no divide within the party.

It was also reported that the angry MLAs even will meet the party chief Uddhav Thackeray on November 22 at his residence, Matoshree to express their displeasure.

Eknath Shinde, the party’s legislative leader also deny the rumours of discontent.

“No one is unhappy in the Shiv Sena. The news is being spread to create confusion among the people. But it should not be trusted,” the legislator said.
