BJP Checkmates Uddhav Thackeray?
In a move that nobody expected, rebel Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde took oath as Maharashtra Chief Minister with BJP's Devendra Fadnavis as his Deputy. With this move, BJP capped the coup that unseated Uddhav Thackeray a day ago with back-to-back curveballs. Though Fadnavis had announced that he would stay out of Eknath Shinde's government and lend it support from the outside, three hours later, BJP chief JP Nadda said that he would personally request him to be Deputy Chief Minister. In all of this, the big question emerges - which is the real Shiv Sena? And can there be a Shiv Sena without the Thackerays?
