A seven-day yagna was organised at a resort near Murbad in Thane district, last week, ahead of Supreme Court’s order on the tussle between two factions of Shiv Sena. A state leader who had stakes in the survival of the state government organised the event with sources in his party saying  that it was to give psychological upper hand to the leader.

In-house Trouble

State Congress president Nana Patole’s decision to crack the whip on supporters of former minister Vijay Waddetiwar seems to have fuelled trouble within the party with Waddetiwar threatening to take up the matter with higher-ups. “The least he could have done is to give the person a chance to present his case,” said Waddetiwar who believes the matter should first be referred to in-house committee. Patole will now have to tackle the unrest within first.
