Who is the reason for the Maharashtra political crisis?

 Shiv Sena is like any other regional party. In the family-run parties, non-family leaders either revolt or become irrelevant.

Chhagan Bhjbal was one of the most popular leaders of Shiv Sena in the 1980s and he become mayor of Mumbai in 1985. But he left the party in 1991.

• Narayan Rane was the CM of Maharashtra but he left the party in 2005.
• The nephew of Bala Saheb Thakery - Raj Thackrey had to resign from Shiv Sena.
• Former Central Minister Suresh Prabhu left Shiv Sena in 2014.
• Former Maharashtra CM and speaker of Lok Sabha Manohar Joshi was pushed into the background.

The reason for all these incidents was similar - the domination of one man and one family. Bala Saheb Thackrey was the founder of Shiv Sena and he had a base in certain areas of Maharashtra including Mumbai. He selected his son Udhav Thackery as his heir neglecting the claims of other leaders and his nephew. In family-run parties, even nephews have no political future (Prakash Singh Badal's nephew is in Congress and Rajiv Gandhi's nephew Varun Gandhi is in BJP).

Now Udhav Thackery is trying to impose his son Aditya Thackery on the party. Aditya Thackery is very new in politics and many leaders like Eknath Shinde and others are not ready to accept him as their leader. Ideally, Udhav Thakcery should have waited but he seems to be in hurry to make Aditya Thackery a leader. We must remember that Udhav is not Bala Saheb and even many leaders had opposed the elevation of Udhav Thackery. Also, it is said that Aditya Thackery was interfering in day to day work of senior Sena ministers and there was a verbal spat between Shinde and Aditya a few days ago.

There are many other reasons for revolt in Shiv Sena - Shiv Sena leaving Hindutwa brand of politics, uncomfortable alliance with NCP & Congress, Udhav Thackery's style of working and ignoring MLAs from outside Mumbai, fear of not getting elected next time, etc. But the main reason is that leaders are not ready to accept Aditya Thackery as their leader. And Udhav Thackey must take all the blame.

It all happened because Shivsena compromised with the ideology on which his party stood for the last 35 years.

For the sake of the CM post, Uddhav Thackeray form an alliance with their rivals NCP and Congress

Maharastra people don't vote for NCP and Congress. They vote for BJP and Shivsena alliance. MLAs of Shiv Sena know that within 2.5 years they have to interact with the public to vote. CM doesn't interact publicly. As per the report majority of the base voter of shiv sena doesn't their MVA alliance

Shivsena is the reason for the political crisis of Maharashtra

The entire rebellion in Shiv Sena is because of this man below.

Uddav in his love for his son. Uddav in his enthusiasm to project his son has forced all the ministers to hang the photos of himself and Aditya Thackeray in their office. The MLAs and seniors found that they do not have any future in the party. They must remain slave to the family. That is the main reason for the revolt in the party..

MLAs are not able to meet Uddhav and he is not available for any including ministers. Sharad Pawar is running the Government by proxy which the MLAs do not like. Individuality of the party is sacrificed and ideology buried. They found it disheartening. The party is getting unpopular day by day. They found that if the same continue, they will not be able to win elections in future. The fear of losing election is another important reason for the rebellion. MVA Government has become very unpopular too because of corruption and inefficiency. All these contributed to the great revolt in Shiv Sena.
