The stubborn stand the Shiv Sena took by not supporting royal family scion Sambhaji Raje Bhosale in the Rajya Sabha elections played a major role in the present crisis in the party as well as the MVA government, say political analysts. Had the Sena backed Bhosale and not fielded own Sanjay Pawar, all candidates would have been elected and the mood of the MLAs and independents would not have turned sour.
