In a major setback to the Uddhav Thackeray faction, Maharashtra Speaker Rahul Narwekar today pronounced that the Eknath Shinde faction was the real Shiv Sena. Narvekar also acknowledged that according to the 1999 version of the party constitution, the Sena 'Pramukh' (president) did not hold the power to remove anyone from the leadership structure which constitutionally nullified Eknath Shinde's removal from the party by the then-president Uddhav Thackeray.
