Amid a rebellion by TMC lawmakers, Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray said "timid and ungrateful" people are abandoning the ship. Aaditya said the rebels have forgotten what the party, its workers and TMC chief Mamata Banerjee have done for them. Recently, around 60 TMC MLAs formed a separate faction, while 20 rebel MPs have sought to join BJP-led NDA.
