Thackeray Faction's 'Crisis Solver' Anil Parab Sparks Rebellion in Matoshree's Backyard

• Internal conflict within Shiv Sena UBT over BMC election candidacies, particularly in Bandra East.
• MLA Anil Parab, a key confidant, is accused of backing an independent candidate against the party's official nominee.
• This rebellion persists despite mediation attempts by Uddhav Thackeray and Aaditya Thackeray.
• Differences between Anil Parab and Varun Sardesai (Aaditya's cousin) over candidate selection are a core issue.
• Speculation suggests a strategy to re-absorb the rebel after elections, despite recent joint appearances.

Why It Matters: Anil Parab's alleged support for a rebel candidate creates a major internal crisis for Shiv Sena UBT at Matoshree.
