Before the assembly elections in Maharashtra, CM Eknath Shinde's Shiv Sena has suffered a big setback. In Kalyan Dombivali, the leaders of Shinde group have joined hands with Uddhav Thackeray. On Sunday, Shinde group's Yuva Sena secretary Dipesh Mhatre, along with seven corporators and hundreds of workers, joined the Shiv Sena Thackeray group. These leaders attended the program organized at Matoshree, the residence of Thackeray group chief Uddhav Thackeray.
A few days ago, there was a dispute between Shinde group MLA and minister Ravindra Chavan and Dipesh Mhatre. Deepesh Mhatre was angry with this.
Now in Dombivali, Thackeray faction has given a big blow to Shinde faction. Shinde faction's state secretary Dipesh Mhatre along with his colleagues joined the Shiv Sena Thackeray faction. He held the torch in the presence of Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray at 'Matoshree' residence.
Along with Deepesh Mhatre, seven former councilors including his brother former councilor Jayesh Mhatre, Rupesh Mhatre, Ratnatai Mhatre, Sulochana Mhatre, Sangeeta Bhoir, Vasant Bhagat, Sampattai Shelar joined Shiv Sena.
Uddhav Thackeray said that if the decision had been taken a little earlier, this hooliganism and atrocities would have been buried in the Lok Sabha itself.
Uddhav Thackeray said that Kalyan-Dombivli is the stronghold of Shiv Sena, Hindutva and Shiv Rai. Here the saffron has the stain of betrayal, wash the stain and burn the saffron as a torch. Uddhav Thackeray appealed to make Kalyan-Dombivli Shiv Sena again.
He said that many people got the misconception that I have given up Bala Saheb's ideas. Shiv Sena has moved away from Hindutva. You too were blindfolded and now it is good that everyone's eyes have opened.
They said that You have also come to know that Hindutva, Shiv Sena and those ideas are not Bala Saheb's. Selling Maharashtra was never Bala Saheb's idea and can never happen. Uddhav Thackeray said that I am taking Shiv Sena forward with this thinking.
They said that We will live in self-respect, not in poverty. Hindu Hriday Samrat had told us that if you want to live one day then live like a lion and not like a goat. He said he is glad you are back. If the decision had been taken a little earlier, this hooliganism would have been buried in the Lok Sabha itself. Despite power, money and chauvinism being on one side, Shiv Sena-loving voters gave 4 lakh votes to their ordinary worker and they won.
