“How Far Can You Go Without Using Names Of Shiv Sena”:Uddhav Thackeray To Rebel MLAS

“Eknath Shinde makes his son an MP then why does he have a problem with my son,” Mr. Thackeray reportedly said.

Mumbai: Uddhav Thackeray, reduced to a minority in his party by a stunning revolt by a former aide, said today the Shiv Sena rebels are “trying to break the party” and added: “Why would I feel bad about those who have left?”

The Maharashtra Chief Minister, addressing a group of party leaders virtually, said those who had declared they would rather die than leave the Shiv Sena had today “run away”.

“How far can you go without using the names of Shiv Sena and Thackeray,” Mr. Thackeray said, targeting the rebel MLAs who have rebelled against him.

Uddhav Thackeray and his son Aaditya Thackeray met with the Shiv Sena’s district heads while fighting an unprecedented rebellion that has seen more than 40 MLAs backing rebel Eknath Shinde.

Aaditya Thackeray attended the meeting in person in an attempt to re-establish his family’s emotional connection with grassroots workers of the Shiv Sena founded by his grandfather Bal Thackeray.

If sources are believed, Eknath Shinde and his expanding group of rebels have been staying at a five-star hotel in Assam’s Guwahati. Mr. Shinde had been nursing a grudge for some time, and one of his complaints was the rise of Aaditya Thackeray as a power center.

“Eknath Shinde makes his son an MP then why does he have a problem with my son,” Mr. Thackeray reportedly said.

The Sena chief said, “My body was aching, from my head and neck to my feet. Some people thought I would not recover… My eyes were not opening, but I didn’t care about myself,”

Eknath Shinde has claimed that more than 50 MLAs are backing him in his revolt against his former leader and Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Nearly 40 of them are from the Shiv Sena.
