BJP's BMC Sweep Ignites Sena Vs Sena War Over Balasaheb's Legacy

  • BJP's clean sweep in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections has intensified the Sena vs Sena conflict.
  • Shiv Sena (UBT) accuses Deputy CM Eknath Shinde of dismantling Balasaheb Thackeray's party, benefiting BJP.
  • Sena (UBT) leaders highlight that Shinde's faction secured only 29 corporators despite defections, weakening Shiv Sainiks.
  • Sanjay Raut labeled Shinde as "Jaichand of Shiv Sena," blaming him for BJP's potential first-time mayor in Mumbai.
  • Shinde credits the victory to development, dismissing emotional appeals and promising a "triple engine sarkar" for Mumbai's progress.

Why It Matters: BJP's BMC victory fuels a bitter Sena vs Sena battle, with Uddhav's faction accusing Shinde of betrayal.
