Aaditya Thackeray, former Maharashtra minister and son of Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, was elected the legislature party leader of the Shiv Sena (UBT) during a meeting of party legislators in Mumbai on Monday.
In the recent assembly elections, Aaditya secured victory from the Worli constituency, defeating Milind Deora of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena by 8,801 votes. However, his winning margin witnessed a significant drop from the 67,427 votes recorded in the 2019 elections.
Senior party leader Ambadas Danve announced that Bhaskar Jadhav has been appointed the party group leader in the state assembly, while Sunil Prabhu will serve as the party’s chief whip.
The developments come as the Shiv Sena (UBT) gears up to strengthen its position following the split with the Eknath Shinde faction.
