Fire Aaji Confronts Thackeray Over BMC Ticket Snub; Anil Kokil Joins Shinde Sena

• Shiv Sainiks expressed displeasure outside Matoshree over former Mayor Shraddha Jadhav's re-nomination for Ward No. 202.
• 'Fire Aaji' confronted Uddhav Thackeray, questioning why Jadhav was re-nominated despite her multiple terms, advocating for Shakha Pramukh Vijay Indulkar.
• Vijay Indulkar, a long-serving Shakha Pramukh, was an aspirant for Ward No. 202 but was overlooked for Jadhav.
• Anil Kokil, denied nomination for Ward No. 204 by Uddhav Thackeray (who chose Kiran Tawde), immediately joined Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena.
• Kokil's defection sets up a "Sena vs. Sena" battle in Lalbaug, a traditional Shiv Sena stronghold, making the contest exciting.

Why It Matters: Uddhav Thackeray's BMC ticket distribution sparks internal rebellion, leading to defections and a Sena vs. Sena battle.
