Uddhav Thackeray, the Maharashtra Chief Minister reduced to a minority in his own party by a stunning revolt, said today the Shiv Sena rebels are “trying to break the party” and added: “Why would I feel bad about those who have left?”
Uddhav Thackeray, addressing party leaders virtually, said people who had declared they would die before leaving the Shiv Sena had run away.
“Without using the names of Shiv Sena and Thackeray, how will you move ahead,” Mr Thackeray said, targeting the rebel MLAs who have deserted 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.
