Ahir’s exit dents Sena (UBT) in Worli, gives Shinde camp leader who built Aaditya’s political base | Mumbai News
Sachin Ahir, a three-time MLA and influential figure in the NCP, has defected from Aaditya Thackeray's Shiv Sena (UBT) to the Eknath Shinde faction. Ahir played a key role in consolidating local support for Aaditya's 2019 election win in Worli. The move is seen as a significant setback for Aaditya Thackeray, who now faces challenges in maintaining his stronghold in the constituency, as evidenced by shrinking margins in recent elections. Despite Ahir's defection, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray remains confident that Worli will remain their stronghold.
