Controversy Surrounds Shiv Sena Past: Kadam's Startling Claims

Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam sparked controversy with claims about the handling of party founder Bal Thackeray's body, accusing Uddhav Thackeray of betrayal. Kadam alleged the body was kept at Matoshree for two days post-death, prompting a fierce response from Shiv Sena (UBT). The political tensions persist.

In a dramatic turn of events, Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam has made explosive allegations about the aftermath of the death of party founder Bal Thackeray, igniting a political firestorm. Kadam claimed that Thackeray's body was held at his home, Matoshree, for two days after his demise in November 2012.

Addressing a Dussehra rally in Mumbai, Kadam aimed his accusations squarely at Uddhav Thackeray, the son of the late leader and current chief of the rival Shiv Sena (UBT). Sanjay Raut, a prominent figure in Shiv Sena (UBT), responded by labeling these statements as a betrayal of Bal Thackeray's legacy.

Despite backlash from his political adversaries, Kadam stood his ground, calling for a narco-analysis test to support his claims. This incident adds to the escalating tension between the ruling Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde and Uddhav Thackeray's faction.
