Ahead of the crucial Lok Sabha Election in 2024, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Monday restructured the party organisation. After the split in Shiv Sena, Thackeray has been working to rebuild the party. In the latest move, he announced a new national executive of Shiv Sena (UBT). The former Chief Minister appointed six of his trusted leaders to the post of 'Shiv Sena leader', the second most important post in the party after the post of party chief.

These 6 leaders are: 

  • MPs – Vinayak Raut, Anil Desai, Rajan Vichare
  • MLAs – Anil Parab, Sunil Prabhu, Ravindra Vaykar

Now, the national executive of Shiv Sena (UBT) has a total of 16 leaders including 10 deputy leaders, 3 secretaries and 3 organisation ministers.

Varun Sardesai and Sainath Durge - two youth leaders considered to be close to Aditya Thackeray - have also been given a place in the new executive.

Sena vs Sena on disqualification

Meanwhile, the delay in deciding the disqualification petitions against Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Shiv Sena MLAs loyal to him came under strict scrutiny by the Supreme Court which came down hard on the Maharashtra Assembly Speaker, saying the proceedings cannot be a charade and he cannot "defeat" its orders.

A bench comprising Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and justices JB Pardiwala and Manoj Misra asked Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, representing Speaker Rahul Narwekar, to apprise it about the timeline for deciding the petitions on Tuesday, saying it will pass a "peremptory order" if it is not satisfied.
