Now meeting the MLAs and giving the power to Son Aaditya has cost the seat of CM to Uddhav Thackeray it looks like.
The elders who are close to Uddhav said that the CM should have given time to the MLAs also so that they could have been happy.
Aaditya Thackeray, the son’s rise within the party has added to the insecurity being felt by some MVA leaders, like the NCP’s Eknath Khadse”.
Many leaders are unhappy about having a more assertive Aaditya at the helm and are not ready to make space for him, sources said.
Leaders have pointed out how NCP leader Sachin Akhirs defection to the Shiv Sena had ensured an easy victory for Aaditya in 2019 from Worli.
Ahir was nominated in the Maharashtra Legislative Council poll in June, instead of a Sena old-timer.
With Subhas Desai, the Industries Minister, not being re-nominated, the Sena veteran might lose the portfolio if the government survives.
Now the rebel leader has around forty MLAs on his side and is being supported by the BJP from the Top. This makes all the difference to Uddhav and he should not have aligned with the Congress for coming to power.
It is a matter of days before Uddhav loses power.
