“We strongly condemn the betrayal which has been displayed by some Shiv Sena MLAs and expressed that the party and its organization stand firmly with party leader Uddhav Thackeray. The party is empowered to take control of the emerging scenario and implement the decisions. It is necessary for the same,” the resolution read.
Resolution 2
The second resolution adopted by the National Executive read, “The National Executive expresses pride in the work of Uddhav Thackeray as the Chief Minister of Maharashtra and the fame he has earned for taking care of the people of Maharashtra during COVID.”
Resolution 3
“The National Executive passes a resolution to ensure the victory of Shiv Sena in the forthcoming Municipal Corporation, Parishad, Panchayat, Zilla Parishad and Panchayat Samiti and other local body elections,” the third resolution said.
Resolution 4
“The national executive likes to thank the Maharashtra government and BMC for the reform works, coastal road, metro rail, property tax exemption and other development projects. Similarly, it thanks Uddhav and Aaditya Thackeray for the success. It goes on. We insist that under the leadership of these two leaders, we will ensure the continued development of Mumbai,” the fourth resolution said.

Resolution 5
According to the fifth resolution, Shiv Sena and Bal Thackeray are two sides of the same coin which are inseparable. That’s why no one other than Shiv Sena can use Balasaheb’s name.
Resolution 6
According to the sixth resolution, Shiv Sena has always stood for the idea of Hindutva, a united Maharashtra and Marathi identity.
He said, “The party has never insulted and will never do so in future. Those who have betrayed Shiv Sena, no matter how senior, we give full authority to Uddhav Thackeray to take action against them.” The National Executive is completely behind. He is in this,” the resolution said.
The current political crisis was initiated by Eknath Shinde, who had been out of communication with several MLAs after the MLC election results. Rebel MLAs led by Shinde arrived at a hotel in Surat late on Monday night, hours after the BJP won the fifth seat despite not having enough numbers in the assembly. Since then more MLAs have joined the rebel camp which is currently based in Guwahati, Assam.
