Thane/Mumbai: Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena has given another (Another ) big blow to Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena in Maharashtra. Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) leader and MLC Manisha Kayande joined the Shiv Sena led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday. He alleged that Uddhav Thackeray was out of reach to know his reaction on party matters. Kayande also claimed that money is demanded from women in the Thackeray faction. This is the second setback for the Thackeray-led faction in the last two days. A day before, senior leader Shishir Shinde had resigned from the party.

Kayande Shinde, at an event after joining Shiv Sena in Thane, claimed that he waited for a year to see if the Thackeray-led faction would introspect on why party workers were leaving Shiv Sena (UBT). . Kayande was made the secretary and spokesperson of the Shiv Sena. Kayande said, “The Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde is the original Shiv Sena that belonged to Balasaheb Thackeray.”
He targeted Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut and party leader Sushma Andhare without naming them for propagating the agenda of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress. Kayande said, “Those who criticize others every day, forward the agenda of Congress and NCP and speak against Hindu deities cannot be the face of Shiv Sena.”
Hours before Kayande was due to join the Shiv Sena, the Thackeray-led faction removed her as spokesperson on charges of “anti-party” activities. However, she was not expelled from her parent party. Kayande said that he is not involved in any anti-party activity.
