In 2022, during a party meeting, Uddhav Thackeray explained his move to pull out of NDA. He said, "We supported the BJP wholeheartedly to enable them to fulfill their national ambitions. The understanding was they will go national while we will lead in Maharashtra. But we were betrayed and attempts were made to destroy us in our home. So we had to hit back". Thackeray accused BJP of dumping its allies according to its political convenience. He said, "BJP doesn't mean Hindutva. I stand by my comment that Shiv Sena had wasted 25 years in alliance with BJP."[22]
Working
Given the varied ideologies among the partner parties, there was a plan to form two committees for guidance of the coalition - a co-ordination committee for implementation of common minimum programme and other higher decision making committee that will include party chiefs.[23]
Eknath Shinde, a senior Shiv Sena leader, wanted to break the Maha Vikas Aghadi and establish BJP-Shiv Sena coalition again.
Subsequently he gathered the support of 2/3rd members of his party.[24][25]
On 29 June, Uddhav Thackeray resigned from the post of Chief Minister as well as MLC member ahead of the no-confidence motion.
Eknath Shinde took oath as the new Chief Minister with Devendra Fadnavis as Deputy CM on 30 June.[26]
