Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena Faction Shows Double Strike Rate in Lok Sabha Polls

Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi chief Prakash Ambedkar highlighted that Eknath Shinde's faction of Shiv Sena demonstrated a strike rate twice as high as Uddhav Thackeray's faction in the recent Lok Sabha polls. He asserted that party functionaries now consider Shinde's group as the legitimate Shiv Sena.

Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi chief Prakash Ambedkar on Monday emphasized that the strike rate of the Shiv Sena faction led by Eknath Shinde was double that of the faction under Uddhav Thackeray in the Lok Sabha elections.

Ambedkar, during a press conference for his 'Aaraskshan Bachao Yatra', remarked that Uddhav Thackeray's faction attracted votes primarily from reservation supporters and Muslims.

'Shiv Sainiks now view Eknath Shinde's leadership as the genuine Shiv Sena,' Ambedkar claimed, while pointing out that despite winning fewer seats, Shinde's faction had a superior strike rate.
