Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut on Monday asserted the group led by Uddhav Thackeray is the "real Shiv Sena" and rejected a suggestion from a leader of the Eknath Shinde-headed camp for an introspection by Thackeray for the unification of the two rival party factions.

Talking to reporters, Rajya Sabha member Raut said there is no need for an introspection and such a suggestion shows the frustration of the rival group.
