Shinde appoints new Sena national executive

Eknath Shinde Sena Uddhav Thackeray Shiv Sena Bal Thackeray Balasaheb Thackeray Lok Sabha Sanjay Raut Vinayak Raut NCP

In another jolt to the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena faction, the rebel Sena camp led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde announced a new national executive committee even as rumours swirled of an imminent exodus of 12 of the 19 Lok Sabha MPs from the parent group to the ruling one.

Sources said the dozen could switch sides during Mr. Shinde’s visit to Delhi on Tuesday to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah regarding the Cabinet expansion of the new Sena (Shinde camp)-Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government in Maharashtra.

Ever since Mr. Shinde’s intra-party revolt last month, which saw him move away with 39 other Sena MLAs and topple the tripartite Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, there have been persistent reports of several of the Sena MPs being in touch with the Shinde camp in order to form a breakaway group in the Lower House of Parliament.
