Mr Thackeray had right from the start of the rebellion by nearly 40 Sena MLAs last week had made it clear he had no wish to cling on to power, if leaders of his own party did not want him.
Mr Thackeray in a virtual address last Friday thanked Sena cadre and party workers for their unwavering support despite having "betrayed by own people", referring to the rebel MLAs.
In the tweet today, Mr Raut shared an illustration of a man in a white kurta, representing Mr Thackeray. But the kurta is torn at the back, with three long claw marks, and blood is dripping, a clear allusion to how the rebel MLAs led by Eknath Shinde backstabbed the former Chief Minister and pulled a fast one on him with direct support of the BJP.
