Shiv Sena Legislators Unhappy with Their Own Ministers

Even though Shiv Sena has joined the BJP-led government in Maharashtra, the party seems to be getting no traction from the arrangement. Even as the party chief Uddhav Thackeray lashes out at the alliance partner regularly, his legislators are unhappy with their own ministers.
Almost half of the ministers in the Maharashtra cabinet come from Shiv Sena. They offer a good opportunity to serve the public but the ministers are doing no work at all, the party's legislators complain openly. Even Uddhav Thackeray himself reportedly expressed his displeasure on his ministers' performance after the local bodies elections held in the state   last year.
The legislators complain that the party's 12 ministers have only occupied their chairs without contributing anything to the party that is involved in a bitter rivalry with its saffron ally.
In the recently held municipal elections in the state, Uddhav and other senior leaders of Shiv Sena concentrated on Mumbai while entrusting the responsibility of the remaining 9 municipal corporations to the ministers. However, they failed to launch an effective campaign in other parts of the state leaving them for the BJP to win. That is why Shiv Sena failed to muster any impressive performance in either the municipal corporations in urban areas or in Zilla Parishads in rural areas.
 The legislators fear that if the situation continues like this, the party will be hard pushed to muster win in the elections in future, eventually losing ground to a surging BJP.
