The Shiv Sena (UBT) mouthpiece 'Saamana' stated that political change or power shift is an inevitable constitutional process and a natural part of democratic development. It asserted that the public has already decided to bring about this change against those who oppose the national flag.
The editorial referenced historical examples including past political transitions through alliances, movements during the Emergency, the merger of the Jana Sangh into the Janata Party, V.P. Singh's rebellion against Rajiv Gandhi to form the Janata Dal with BJP's support, and the BJP's campaign against Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
Saamana argued that the primary goal of opposition movements is always to bring about a power shift, comparing it to international instances such as former US President Donald Trump's objective of regime change in Iran.
