Maharashtra politics: Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena UBT has outrightly denied the reports of any internal rumbling among the Maha Vikas Aghadi allies stating that they are not breaking away from the tie-up that it became a part of in 2019.
This comes after media reports claimed that Uddhav is under pressure from his leaders to leave the alliance after its poor show in the Assembly Elections. The Shiv Sena UBT bagged only 20 seats in the polls, the most among its MVA allies. Congress won 16 seats while Sharad Pawar-led NCP-SP won 10 seats in the polls.
The Uddhav Sena dismissed reports of plans to split from the MVA following poll drubbing stating that there is “no truth” in it. “The comments coming in from various quarters do not reflect the position of the party’s top brass. All the reports currently are speculative,” the party said.
Sanjay Raut Dismisses Queries Of UBT Contesting Solo
Shiv Sena UBT MP Sanjay Raut responded to media queries if UBT will go solo in the BMC polls or will remain a part of the MVA.
“Why are you guys worried? Just now the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections’ results have come…we will see, we know what to do. MVA leaders are capable of making decisions regarding the BMC polls,” he said.
