Anand Dubey Leaves Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena to Join Eknath Shinde-Led Faction
Anand Dubey, formerly a national spokesperson for the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT), resigned from the faction citing ideological differences and dissatisfaction with its internal functioning. On October 16, he joined the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in Thane in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Dubey's departure is seen as a setback for the UBT faction, particularly in its outreach to Hindi-speaking voters in Maharashtra, while he emphasized alignment with the original Hindutva ideology under Shinde's leadership.
