Vertical split in Shiv Sena; Entire North India unit resigns

New Delhi, Mar 26 (UNI) In a major blow to the Shiv Sena, the entire North India units, including in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, split from the main party over the attacks on North Indian and Hindi-speaking people by Sena and MNS members in Maharashtra.

''The Shiv Sena has become a Private Limited Company of some people.... it has limited itself to Maharashtra alone deviating from the main nationalist policies of the party. Balasaheb Thackeray seems to be bogged down by some thing he is toeing Uddhav's line only,'' North India Shiv Sena president Jai Bhagwan Goyal told a news conference here.
