Raj Thackeray's MNS jibes CM Uddhav as Shiv Sena implodes; asks 'How does it feel?'

Amid the rebellion in Shiv Sena, Raj Thackeray's Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) on Friday took a dig at Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray's faction. Posters asking 'How does it feel?' have been put up by MNS.

The posters with the acerbic message have been put up in the Sakinaka area of Mumbai. The poster in Marathi says 'That time our Nagar Sewaks were taken. How does it feel?'

The Shiv Sena has been witnessing the uprising within the party after Eknath Shinde broke away and formed a rebel group with the support of several legislators. Currently camping in a hotel in Guwahati, Shinde has the support of at least 38 rebel MLAs of the Sena and several independents. He has claimed that the faction led by him are "real Shiv Sainiks".
