BJP general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya on Tuesday said his party was watching the turmoil in the ruling Shiv Sena in neighboring Maharashtra from afar. The main constituent of the Maha Vikas Aghadi in the neighboring state fell into disarray on June 21 after senior leader Eknath Shinde revolted against Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and was now in Guwahati with a large number of dissidents.

“We have no role in the current turmoil in Maharashtra. This (rebellion) is an internal squabble of Shiv Sena. We are just standing at a distance and watching it,” Vijayvargiya told reporters. On reports of attacks on the offices of rebel MLAs by soldiers loyal to Thackeray, he said efforts were being made to create a West Bengal-like situation in Maharashtra by spreading fear and terror.
