Mumbai: The crisis of leadership in the Shiv Sena is becoming acuter by the day as the party struggles to find replacements for leaders who have quit or died.
The right-wing party is now unlikely to fill the post vacated after senior leader Madhukar Sarpotdar’s death Saturday last. It is also yet to find a replacement for Pramod Navalkar even two years after his demise, owing primarily to none among the current flock of leaders being of the same “stature”.
At present, Sena has 10 first rank leaders, including executive president Uddhav Thackeray. The party has promoted two second rung leaders — Ramdas Kadam and Gajanan Kirtikar — after Narayan Rane and Raj Thackeray left the party in the past five years. Even so, three out of these 10 — Sudhir Joshi, Datta Nalawade and Liladhar Dake — are out of action for health reasons.
