Despite betrayal by those whom Shiv Sena trusted, grassroot Shiv Sainiks still with party: Aaditya Thackeray

The Hindu  

Former Maharashtra Minister Aaditya Thackeray on Sunday claimed the grassroot Shiv Sena workers were firmly with the organisation, despite "betrayal" by those whom the party trusted. Speaking in Mumbai's northern suburb Dahisar as part of his 'Nishtha Yatra', Aaditya Thackeray said those who wanted to leave the Sena have gone, but the grassroot Shiv Sainiks continue to support the party, led by his father and former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. Since the revolt, both the factions, led by Uddhav Thackeray and CM Shinde, have repeatedly claimed to be the real Shiv Sena. "In each constituency, we have two to three formidable Shiv Sainiks.men and women who are ready to take on political rivals at the hustings," said Sena MLA Aaditya Thackeray.
