After the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) claimed that 22 legislators and nine Lok Sabha MPs of the rival Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena were reportedly unhappy with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis riposted by alleging “massive unrest” within Mr. Thackeray’s camp.
“The unrest within Thackeray’s outfit is due to three or four people. It will be out in the public soon. Why should I speak about it? Everybody will come to know about it,” said Mr. Fadnavis on Tuesday.
While the BJP leader refused to elaborate on who was allegedly creating ‘unrest’ within the Thackeray camp, it is believed his jibe was directed at the circle close to Mr. Thackeray, particularly Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut, who is executive editor of his party’s mouthpiece Saamana.
