An editorial in Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece 'Saamana' dubbed the ongoing political situation in Maharashtra a movie, called "One (doubt) full and two half", a reference to CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CMs Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar. It also said that with NCP joining BJP, only offenders like Vijay Mallya and Mehul Choksi were left to join BJP.
