MLAs and MPs to quit Shiv Sena
The Shiv Sena (UBT) party’s mouthpiece, Saamana has claimed that almost 22 MLAs and nine Lok Sabha MPs of the Shiv Sena, led by Maharashtra Chief Minister, Eknath Shinde, were unhappy with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and wanted to leave the party. According to them, the leaders were feeling “suffocated due to the step-motherly treatment.”

Moreover, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Vinayak Raut said that the legislators were in touch with his party and wished to leave the Chief Minister Shinde-led party as there had been no development in their constituencies.
One of the senior leaders, Gajanan Kirtikar, who raised slogans like “Hum Hi Shiv Sena” has openly expressed displeasure over the behaviour of BJP, said Saamana on Monday.
While indicating that things were not stable in the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena alliance in the state, Kirtikar accused the BJP of discrimination. He said, “We are 13 MPs and we are now part of the NDA and we expect the issues related to our constituencies to be resolved on a priority basis. But we don’t see that happening.”
The senior leader also claimed that his party would like to contest 22 Lok Sabha seats in the state.
“Self-respect and respect cannot be bought with money, it has been proved once again. Kirtikar claimed that his party would like to contest 22 Lok Sabha seats in the state. It means that they have asked for the seats from the BJP. However, the BJP is not even ready to give five seven seats to this group,” Saamna reported.
