Justifying his last year’s rebellion against Uddhav Thackery’s leadership, which led to a split in the Shiv Sena, Shinde said Thackery’s participation in Friday’s meeting proved that his revolt was right.

Justifying his last year’s rebellion against Uddhav Thackery’s leadership, which led to a split in the Shiv Sena, Shinde said Thackery’s participation in Friday’s meeting proved that his revolt was right.

In an alluding attack on Uddhav Thackery, the Maharashtra chief minister said, “Those who went Mantralay (ministry) only twice as the CM reached Patna directly for power. Their Hindutva had always been doubtful, but yesterday’s visit proved it.”

“A year ago, we staged a rebellion against those in the Shiv Sena Party who had mortgaged Balasaheb’s ideas merely for power. The Patna meeting proved once again that our stand was right.”
