Sachin Ahir Elected as Deputy Chairman of Maharashtra Legislative Council Following Party Switch
Sachin Ahir 轉投陣營後獲選為馬哈拉施特拉邦立法會副議長
Introduction
Sachin Ahir has been elected as the deputy chairman of the Maharashtra Legislative Council after leaving the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) to join the faction led by Eknath Shinde.
Sachin Ahir 在離開由 Uddhav Thackeray 領導的 Shiv Sena (UBT) 並加入由 Eknath Shinde 領導的派系後，被選為馬哈拉施特拉邦立法會的副議長。
Main Body
The election of Sachin Ahir was completed unanimously on Wednesday. This happened after the Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) nominee, JM Abhyankar, withdrew from the race following a request from Parliamentary Affairs Minister Chandrakant Patil. Mr. Ahir, who was previously a close associate of Aaditya Thackeray and has a political background with the Congress and the NCP, officially joined the Shinde faction on Tuesday.
Sachin Ahir 的選舉於週三一致通過。這是由於在議會事務部長 Chandrakant Patil 的要求下，Mahavikas Aghadi (MVA) 的提名人 JM Abhyankar 決定退出競選。Ahir 先生此前是 Aaditya Thackeray 的親信，並在國會黨與國民會議黨 (NCP) 擁有政治背景，他於週二正式加入 Shinde 派系。
This move is part of a larger trend of instability for the Shiv Sena (UBT). Recently, six Members of Parliament joined the Shinde camp on June 22, which increased the strength of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in parliament. Consequently, members of the Shiv Sena (UBT) are now criticizing their own organization's management.
此舉是 Shiv Sena (UBT) 不穩定趨勢的一部分。近期，六名國會議員於 6 月 22 日加入 Shinde 陣營，增加了國家民主聯盟 (NDA) 在國會中的實力。因此，Shiv Sena (UBT) 的成員目前正批評其組織的管理方式。
MP Sanjay Raut and party member Sunil Shinde have both emphasized the need for the party to reflect on its internal problems. Mr. Raut asserted that giving too much power and opportunity to a few specific people may have caused these defections. Furthermore, he argued that the current success of Eknath Shinde and his son is a direct result of the positions they were given by Uddhav Thackeray in the past.
國會議員 Sanjay Raut 與黨員 Sunil Shinde 均強調，黨內需要反思其內部問題。Raut 先生主張，將過多權力與機會賦予少數特定人士，可能導致了這些脫黨現象。此外，他認為 Eknath Shinde 及其兒子的現狀成功，直接源於過去 Uddhav Thackeray 給予他們的職位。
Conclusion
The Shiv Sena (UBT) continues to lose important members to the Shinde faction, leading to internal calls for a new strategy regarding party loyalty and the distribution of power.
Shiv Sena (UBT) 繼續失去重要成員至 Shinde 派系，導致黨內出現要求針對黨員忠誠度與權力分配採取新策略的呼聲。
