Pressure on Uddhav to quit MVA
According to sources, Shiv Sena (UBT) is preparing to contest the upcoming municipal corporation and local body elections on its own. Party workers, as well as candidates who lost the elections and those who won, have also urged Uddhav Thackeray to leave Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) soon.
