In Maharashtra, Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Aamshya Padvi on Sunday joined the Eknath Shinde led faction of Shiv Sena in the presence of Chief Minister Shinde in Mumbai.
Aamshya Padavi is the tribal face of Shiv Sena in remote areas of Nandurbar district. He has been working in Shiv Sena for many years, diligently establishing the party’s presence in Nandurbar district. In the 2022 Legislative Council elections, Uddhav
Thackeray had sidelined many prominent party leaders and nominated Aamshya Padavi for the Legislative Council.
This move had led to discontent among other party members. While 40 MLAs joined Eknath Shinde in his rebellion, Padavi remained loyal to Thackeray. However, Padavi has now joined the Shinde-led Shiv Sena ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in 2024.
