Turmoil in Shiv Sena

The split in the Shiv Sena caused by Raj Thackeray's exit will be welcomed by the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party. Mr. Raj Thackeray's exit was imminent as he had expressed his inability to work with his cousin and Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray. However, his hint at floating a new political outfit is not an encouraging sign.

Mr. Bal Thackeray could never have imagined his party would end up like this. His trusted lieutenant and nephew, Raj Thackeray, who had for years complained that he and his followers were sidelined in the party, has finally parted ways. It is now clear that the loyalty of the Sena's workers is to individuals, not the party.
