Shiv Sena (Ubatha) should stop criticizing us, otherwise only two MLAs will remain out of 20: Shinde

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and ruling Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde on Thursday warned Shiv Sena (Ubatha) that if it did not stop criticizing his party and Mahayuti, the Uddhav Thackeray-led party would be left with only two MLAs out of the current 20. He said that the people of the state gave a befitting reply to Shiv Sena (Ubatha) in the assembly elections held last year and now the time has come for it to introspect. Talking to reporters on the sidelines of his visit to ‘Anand Ashram’ here to pay tribute to Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray and his guru Anand Dighe on his birth anniversary, Shinde also said that the demand for Shiv Sena is increasing in other states as well. He said, “From the very first day, the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA), especially Shiv Sena (Ubatha) has been criticizing me and Mahayuti, but nothing worked and the citizens of the state gave them a befitting reply and showed them their place. If this continues, they will lose 0 (zero) out of 20.
