The Shiv Sena has always been a formidable force in Maharashtra politics and the BJP has had to play second fiddle to it. Equations changed last year when in the Assembly Elections, BJP stole a march over Shiv Sena with a resounding win. The Shiv Sena was no longer the “big brother” and till date the party is yet to digest this change of power play. Not surprisingly its leaders like Uddhav Thackeray and Sanjay Raut have been repeatedly lashing out at the BJP. Their agony was quite apparent today when both these leaders made a vicious attack on the government. It could be a while before Shiv Sena is finally able to accept its nominal role.
