Raj Thackeray's MNS Rocked: Key Leader Quits Ahead of Mumbai Polls

• Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) faces a significant setback with two leaders resigning ahead of municipal elections.
• Former corporator Virendra Tandel, a trusted core committee member of Amit Thackeray, resigned from MNS.
• Tandel cited disrespectful treatment and internal rivalries as reasons for his departure from the party.
• He alleged being deliberately sidelined by local leaders and that senior leadership ignored his complaints.
• Tandel's exit, following Santosh Dhuri's resignation, is a major blow to MNS's organizational structure in Mumbai.

Why It Matters: MNS suffers significant leadership exits, weakening its position before crucial municipal elections.
