Who is winning the public perception in the battle between real and fake Shiv Sena? Who is the king and kingmaker of Maharashtra?

After the rebellion in Shiv Sena and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), the political map of Maharashtra changed. The fight between the real and fake party reached the Election Commission. The decision of the Election Commission came in favour of the rebel factions. In the fight for the name and symbol of Shiv Sena, the decision of the Election Commission came in favour of the faction led by Eknath Shinde. Ajit Pawar was successful in winning the battle of NCP.

Uddhav Thackeray had to give up his claim on the party formed by his own father and form a new party. Sharad Pawar also formed a new party. But a debate continued – whose party is the real one. All the four factions of both the parties have been calling themselves the real party. What is the public perception on this?

In the battle between real and fake Shiv Sena, who is winning perception

While Uddhav Thackeray is calling his party Shiv Sena (UBT) as the real Shiv Sena, the name and symbol of Shiv Sena is with the faction led by Shinde. Shinde has also made his own claims. The Uddhav faction has been talking about going among the people calling Eknath Shinde a traitor. The Shinde faction has been presenting itself as the real heir of Balasaheb’s legacy. After Shiv Sena lost the battle in the Election Commission, Uddhav has been talking about the decision from the court of the people.

In the recent Lok Sabha elections, the party led by Uddhav won more seats than Shinde’s Shiv Sena, but the Maharashtra Assembly elections are considered important in terms of the decision. The question is who is winning the perception of the public in the battle between the real and fake Shiv Sena? The figures of India Today-C Voter’s Mood of the Nation Survey are giving auspicious signs for the Shinde faction in this battle.

According to this survey, while 25% people are satisfied with the work of the government, the number of people satisfied with the work of CM Shinde is 35%. 34% people are somewhat satisfied with the work of the government, but when it comes to the work of the CM, this figure also comes down to 31%. The number of people dissatisfied with the work of the CM is also less than that of the government. While 34% people are dissatisfied with the work of the government, 28% are dissatisfied with the work of the CM. The rising graph of Eknath Shinde as CM is also being said to be a sign of him getting ahead of Uddhav in the perception battle.

what the experts say

Eknath Shinde is getting approval ratings. Then the betrayal factor is not working. In response to this question, senior journalist Ashutosh said that as far as Shinde is concerned, if his popularity is increasing as Chief Minister, then it is a cause of concern for BJP. It is also a cause of concern for Devendra Fadnavis. Whether BJP will go to the elections with Shinde’s face or Devendra Fadnavis’, this will remain a question.

Eknath Shinde’s party spokesperson Sanjay Nirupam said that the people of Maharashtra have assessed the work of the previous CM and the current CM. The public found that the previous CM Uddhav Thackeray used to communicate on Facebook, Eknath Shinde communicates face-to-face, lives among the people. The public has approved this.

Sharad Pawar faction was heavy on Ajit

In the recent Lok Sabha elections, Sharad Pawar’s party had an upper hand over Ajit’s faction. The party led by Ajit Pawar could win only one seat. Whereas Sharad Pawar’s party won eight seats. This result of the Lok Sabha elections was seen as the mandate of the real NCP. The assembly elections are a fight between the real and fake Shiv Sena as well as the NCP. These elections of Maharashtra will determine the political direction of Uddhav Thackeray, Eknath Shinde, Sharad Pawar and Ajit Pawar as well as who will be the king and kingmaker of Maharashtra?
