Paragraph describing events leading up to resignation of Uddhav Thacakaray (paragraph that begins with "Thackeray led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition began to unravel in late June 2022 ...") and forming of new Government in June 2022 is not neutral and seems to be written so as to affirm and legitimise the narrative of Shinde faction. (See https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/shiv-sena-case-supreme-court-constitution-bench-reserves-judgment-uddhav-thackeray-eknath-shinde-maharashtra-223929 for arguments by Shinde faction in Supreme Court.) This paragraph needs to be edited so the tone is neutral.
Examples -
"Thackeray led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) coalition began to unravel " -
"Since the majority of Shivsena legislative party sided with Shinde," -
"attempts by Thackeray to disqualify the dissenting members using the anti-defection law were unsuccessful." -
This paragraph also completely ignores the role of Governor in formation of new Government, something that Supreme Court made sharp remarks against (https://www.livelaw.in/top-stories/shiv-sena-case-governor-cant-enter-into-an-area-which-precipitates-governments-fall-supreme-court-says-during-hearing-223843).
This matter is currently pending in Supreme Court (including the matter of grant of Shiv Sena name and party Symbol by ECI to Shinde faction), so no inferences can currently be drawn as to which side is legally correct.
This Paragraph should only state facts, and not make any statements that affirm narrative of one group or the other.

Today, I found these similar Maharashtra geographic location articles:
If yes, can they be merged? The topic is beyond my knowledge, so can an expert here do this please. JoeNMLC (talk) 01:22, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
Note that the previous figure cited (0.75) is based upon 2017-2018 data from Ashoka University. I replaced it with a 2021 stat from the Global Data Lab, which is newer. Note that there is a significant discrepancy for the two datasets, and they probably use different statistics for the three variables to be calculated. VickKiang (talk) 04:56, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
