Shiv Sena (UBT) opposition to Indian government

The Shiv Sena (UBT) party has called for a regime change in India, describing the current administration as a “tyrannical regime.” In an editorial published in the party mouthpiece, Saamana, the group alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and others have maintained power by manipulating Election Commissioners, specifically naming Gyanesh Kumar.

The party argued that the administration’s opposition to the “Tiranga (Tricolour) movement” has accelerated the momentum for political transition. Shiv Sena (UBT) criticized leaders such as Modi and Devendra Fadnavis for perceiving peaceful democratic agitations as anarchy.

Following these assertions, Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut criticized Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah as the INDIA bloc prepared for a large-scale protest at Ramlila Maidan in Delhi. Raut defended constitutional democracy and reiterated allegations that the Election Commission of India is functioning under pressure from the ruling government. Additionally, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray noted that communication between his party and the BJP has remained severed since 2019.
