His decision comes at a time when the political rivalry between the two Shiv Sena factions continues to intensify, with both sides seeking to strengthen their organisational and legislative positions ahead of upcoming political contests

Shiv Sena (UBT) suffered another political setback on Tuesday after senior leader and Maharashtra Legislative Council member Sachin Ahir filed his nomination for the post of Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Council as the official candidate of the ruling Mahayuti alliance. He is expected to formally join the party later in the day.
Ahir's move comes just days after six Shiv Sena (UBT) Lok Sabha MPs joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena, further deepening the crisis for the Uddhav Thackeray-led party.
