Hours after Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar ruled that the Eknath Shinde faction was the 'real' Shiv Sena, the Lok Sabha MP from the Shiv Sena (UBT), Priyanka Chaturvedi, dragged the BJP into the matter saying that everything happens in accordance with the wishes of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, reported news agency ANI.

"I am not surprised at all. We are all aware of the saying 'Wahi hota hai jo manzoor-e-khuda' hota hai' (Whatever happens is determined by the will of God). However, after 2014, there's a new saying -- 'Wahi hota hai Jo manzoor-e-Narendra Modi aur Amit Shah hota hai' (Whatever happens is determined by the will of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah). That is what we are seeing in Maharashtra," Priyanka Chaturvedi told ANI on Wednesday.
