Though, the reason for this unexpected decision is not revealed yet. Sanjay Raut, a Shiv Sena MP, was blamed by Union minister Ramdas Athawale on Wednesday for the split within the Sena because he insisted on a coalition with the NCP. “Shiv Sena was broken by Sanjay Raut, not Sharad Pawar. Only at Sanjay Raut’s request, Uddhav Thackeray decided to join the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) “, said Athawale. According to Athawale, Maha Vikas Aghadi would never have been formed if NCP and Shiv Sena had not come together , which would have prevented the formation of a BJP and Shiv Sena administration in Maharashtra.
The Shiv Sena-led coalition government included the NCP as a major partner, its government fell late in June after the the rebel leader of Shiv Sena , Eknath Shinde with many MPs left Senaand formed the Shinde-BJP government with Eknath-Shinde being the CM.
