Eknath Shinde's betrayal of Marathi manoos paved way for BJP mayor in Mumbai, says Sanjay Raut

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut attributes the BJP's victory in the Mumbai civic elections to Eknath Shinde's betrayal of the Marathi manoos. The BJP-Shiv Sena combine secured a majority, ending the Thackeray family's long-standing control of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. Raut also noted the MNS underperformed. The opposition plans to act as a strong check on the ruling alliance.
