Maharashtra Politics: Shiv Sena (UBT) Faces Internal Struggles
Mumbai: In a recent statement, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLA and group leader Bhaskar Jadhav expressed serious concerns regarding the direction of the party, stating it has “almost turned into the Congress party.” This candid admission during a meeting with office bearers highlights the internal turmoil within the party, especially as local body elections loom on the horizon.
A Call for Accountability
Jadhav emphasized the need for accountability among party members, suggesting that fixed terms for positions like shakha pramukhs would encourage more active participation. “Some office bearers have sat comfortably in their roles for over a decade, believing their positions are untouchable,” he noted, urging a reevaluation of the party’s structure.
Challenges Ahead
These comments come as a setback for Sena (UBT), particularly after a disappointing performance in the state assembly elections. There is growing discontent among party cadres, and Jadhav’s remarks reflect the urgency to address the issues or risk further exodus, particularly from the Konkan region, which was once a stronghold for the party.
Strategic Shifts
In light of these challenges, Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut announced that the party would contest the upcoming local body elections independently, marking a significant strategic shift. This decision indicates the party’s intention to redefine its approach and reestablish its presence in Maharashtra politics.
