BJP-Shiv Sena alliance in Maharashtra though appears smooth so far but it has the potency of volcanic eruption with Thackeray scion Aditya Thackeray jumping into the electoral battleground. Though his father and Shiv Sena supremo Udhdhav Thackeray has announced that he is not in the race for the post of CM and deputy CM of the state but it was intriguing to say that a Shiv Sainik would be the CM one day.

Thakereys have indicated well that their massbase and temperament equips them to be the first family and first party to rule Maharashtra. However, the only problem is that Modi-Shah duo has eaten into the vote bank of most of the regional parties including their own allies.

The Shiv Sena understands that they are not as strong as they used to be at the time of Bala Saheb Thackeray who was the real king maker and had unconditional huge support base in his pocket borough. So the Shiv Sena is trying to emerge strong in the state but of no avail so far.

On the other hand BJP under the leadership of its chief minister Devendra Fadnavis is getting stronger by the day which reflected in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. He has the credit of managing many tricky issues with full dexterity making him a taller leader not in the party but also among people of the state.

So far he has been able to manage his allies in the state but attempt will be made to install a Thackeray at the helm of Maharashtra but time will tell its success and failure and also an interesting development to watch for.
