The Maharashtra political crisis, and how Shiv Sena was caught napping
Earlier this week, senior Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde revolted against his party, and took some 30 MLAs (out of 55) with him to camp outside the state. Since then his camp has grown bigger, and which has led to both Shiv Sena and the Maha Vikas Aghadi government to face an existential crisis.
In this episode, host Shashank Bhargava talks to Indian Express’ Shubhangi Khapre about how this crisis started, what it says about the Shiv Sena leadership, and the lessons it needs to learn going forward.
