Rebel Shiv Sena MLA Deepak Kesarkar said that Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray must accept that his faction has "lost majority". "We had been in alliance with BJP for 35 years and we won elections as an alliance, so we must respect the democracy," Kesarkar said. "We've decided to form a new group named Shiv Sena Balasaheb," he added.
