Junior Thackeray in a recent address to the party remarked that the rebel MLAs are traitors and described Eknath Shinde's faction as the "dirt" of Shiv Sena. He was quoted saying that the MLAs who have revolted were never theirs and thus now, the dirt of the party is gone. He believes that now whatever will happen will be for the good. Further, he claimed that the revolt is transpiring not because of the opposition but because their own people betrayed them.
