Re: 2021 Strategic and Political Analysis-1

Can Shiv Sena be split ? The split unit can be merged with BJP and that should get BJP extra numbers to achieve majority. Just as Sardar Patel was snatched away from INC so should Bal Thackeray. Just like current Nehru-Gandhi (especially ma-beta) family does not deserve Sardar Patel, Bose and Ambedk...
