Sunil Shinde, MLC of Shiv Sena Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray slammed MLAs of Eknath Shinde’s Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena. Sunil Shinde said, “These people were levelling the same allegations then. When they came to power they said an efficient government which will not put work on hold is in place. Now their MLAs are unhappy with officials. Why are things not being done now? They are saying that the suggestion of MLAs is not implemented. So what is this efficient government doing? What will they do now? Will they look for another option which will work?"
