Maharashtra’s political turmoil has been the talk of the nation ever since. Hindutva was the foundation upon which Bal Thackeray built the Shiv Sena party. He joined forces with the Bharatiya Janata Party to further his vision of Hindutva because he wanted to make India a safer and better country for Hindus. When Uddhav Thackeray, the current Shiv Sena leader and son of Bal Thackeray, chose to form a coalition with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress, the 25-year alliance between the Shiv Sena and the Bjp was shattered.

Major state political figures, including the rebel MLAs, have claimed that Uddhav Thackeray and the Shiv Sena have disregarded the fundamental principles of Hindu nationalism in order to form a coalition. Additionally, he is alleged to have disregarded his father's main ideals of Hindu nationalism and the principles of the Shiv Sena government in Maharashtra.

Eknath Shinde and other rebel MLAs claim that Bal Thackeray's vision of a unified Hindu country has been abandoned by the Shiv Sena and Thackeray government.

Eknath Shinde, a Sena leader, and 11 MLAs were not present for the urgent meeting on June 21. The Missing in action Sena leaders were eventually discovered camped out in opulent hotels in Surat, Guwahati, and Goa, setting off a week of resort politics.

Shinde's party later came to be known as the 'Shiv Sena Balasaheb,' grew quickly as more Shiv Sena MLAs joined. Shinde then sought a floor test in Maharashtra, claiming that the MVA coalition was no longer in the majority. Thackeray's resignation was requested by the dissident MLAs.

Six resolutions, including the determination to take stern action against the renegade MLAs and to forbid anybody but the Shiv Sena from using the name Balasaheb Thackeray, were voted in an effort to regain power.

The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) administration was then urged by Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari to demonstrate its majority on the house floor on Thursday, and a special session of the state Assembly was called at 11 a.m. as a result.

Following the supreme court's approval of Thursday's floor test, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray abruptly left his position late on Wednesday, causing the Maharashtra Vikas Aaghadi government to fall nearly 2.5 years after it was formed.

The CM's resignation means that there won't be a floor test on Thursday, and the BJP, which is the only party with a majority, may claim to be the next administration.

Shiv Sena was formed by Bal Thackeray, a political cartoonist. A charismatic man, his rhetoric made him one of India's most divisive leaders. Thackeray founded the Shiv Sena party to fight for Maharashtra's interests in the political and professional landscape of India as well as against some Muslim populations in Mumbai. In the 1960s, he battled for the rights of the Marathis (Maharashtrians), who were outnumbered by immigrants from Kerala and other southern states.

The party is not a stranger to rebellion. Shiv Sena party has seen many uprisings, including those led by senior leader Chhagan Bhujbal quitting the party in 1991, another leader, Narayan Rane, quitting in 2005 and taking several parliamentarians with him, and Raj, Uddhav Thackeray's cousin, quitting the party in 2006.

But this time, it's believed that the rebellion would demoralise the party. This is seen as the start of the Shiv Sena government's demise. Although the prior uprisings did have an impact on the party, this time the blow is far worse, and it will be exceedingly challenging for the party to ever regain control and convince people that they still possess the same zeal that propelled them to prominence.
