After BMC strains, Sena-BJP tensions spill into Thane -- but with roles reversed
Tensions between Sena and BJP are now in Thane, but roles are flipped from Mumbai. Thane's Deputy Mayor, Krishna Patil, challenged Sena corporators to resign and face new elections. He said, "If the Shiv Sena feels we should be out of power, then we will resign." This follows Sena pushing through many resolutions, leaving BJP feeling sidelined.
