After a big rebellion in Shiv Sena, Eknath Shinde has become the CM of Maharashtra and BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis is taking over the post of Deputy CM. Even after this, the internal strife of Shiv Sena has not ended. After the MLAs, now a large number of MPs are also speculating about revolt against the party leadership. Meanwhile, in a new development, the party has removed MP Bhavna Gawli from the post of Chief Whip of Shiv Sena in the Lok Sabha. In his place, Rajan Vichare, who is said to be close to Uddhav Thackeray, has been given this responsibility. Shiv Sena Parliamentary Party leader Sanjay Raut has informed about this decision of the party in a letter to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi.

Sanjay Raut has written in the letter, ‘It is informed to you that the Parliamentary Party of Shiv Sena has appointed Rajan Vichare as the Chief Whip of the party in place of Bhavna Gawli in the Lok Sabha. This appointment comes into force with immediate effect. With this decision, after the split in the legislature party, now the possibility of conflict in the parliamentary party of Shiv Sena has also increased. In fact, after Eknath Shinde’s rebellion, Bhavna Gawli wrote a letter to Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray. In this, Bhawna Gawli had said that the role of Eknath Shinde was right. Since then there is talk that 12 Shiv Sena MPs can go with the Eknath Shinde faction. Bhavna Gawli’s name is at the fore in this.

12 MPs including Gawli may rebel against Uddhav Thackeray

Perhaps due to this Shiv Sena has decided to remove him from the post of Chief Whip. Now it has to be seen what reaction of Bhavna Gawli comes to this decision. Rebellion can be declared on behalf of many people including Bhavna Gawli, Shrikant Shinde, MP son of Eknath Shinde. Let us inform that on Tuesday, Shiv Sena MP from Mumbai Rahul Shewale also sent a letter to Uddhav Thackeray. In this, Rahul Shewale had appealed to BJP’s presidential candidate Draupadi Murmu for support.

Fear of cross voting of MPs in presidential election

It is clear from the attitude of the MPs that if Shiv Sena supports the opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha in the presidential election, then there will be rebellion and cross voting can happen. About 12 out of 16 MPs can vote in support of Draupadi Murmu. If this happens, then it will be the beginning of a major breakdown in the parliamentary party of Shiv Sena.
