Politics in Maharashtra has reached a logjam with the Shiv Sena battling the biggest ever revolt and exploring ways to keep the party alive and kicking if the MLAs’ mutiny succeeds somehow.

The Bharatiya Janata Party that minutely worked on the dissidence in the Sena has so far denied its role, but it can’t hide any longer while working behind the scenes, provided the Eknath Shinde group successfully jumps the hurdles—the legal and more importantly, the mental.
