“Murder Of Democracy, Insult Of Supreme Court,” Says Uddhav Thackrey

The Assembly Speaker’s ruling that Eknath Shinde’s Sena was the true Shiv Sena in 2022 when the factions emerged is a murder of democracy, according to former chief minister of Maharashtra Uddhav Thackeray. The former chief minister, who resigned in 2022 in the face of a rebellion led by Eknath Shinde with the support of the BJP, added that it is an insult to the Supreme Court. The Uddhav group has declared that they will appeal the decision to the Supreme Court because they disagree with it.

If Eknath Shinde is the real Shiv Sena, then why he did not disqualify his faction, Uddhav said “I think the Assembly Speaker did not understand the mandate — what he was asked to do. The Supreme Court laid down the framework but the Speaker thought he was above the Supreme Court and came up with his verdict,” Uddhav said.
