Days after the conclusion of Maharashtra local body elections, a Shiv Sena (UBT) leader has stated that the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) should have informed the party before deciding to ally with the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in the Kalyan Dombivli Municipal Corporation (KDMC), reported the PTI.

Varun Sardesai, secretary of Yuva Sena, expressed disappointment over the MNS decision, stressing that the two parties had fought the municipal polls together. He said the MNS, being a separate political entity, ought to have discussed the move with Sena (UBT) first.
