Shiv Sena MLA and spokesperson Sanjay Shirsat said that it is true that Manisha Kayande will join our party tonight (Sunday).
Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has suffered a major setback. Shiv Sena (UBT) party spokesperson and MLC Manisha Kayande is likely to join Eknath Shinde’s Shiv Sena on Sunday evening. Manisha Kayande is considered one of the firebrand women leaders. It is believed that in the coming time, some more Uddhav Thackeray faction leaders and councilors may join the Shinde faction.
Shiv Sena’s 57th foundation day on Monday
Please tell that Monday is the 57th foundation day of Shiv Sena. According to sources, the Uddhav faction has not been able to contact Manisha Kayande since Sunday morning and she is said to have informed the party leadership about her decision to leave the organisation. A source told The Indian Express that Manisha Kayande did not attend the party’s one-day mega plenary held in Worli on Sunday.
Shiv Sena MLA and spokesperson Sanjay Shirsat said that it is true that Kayande ji will join our party tonight (Sunday). She will join the party in the presence of CM Shinde at Varsha Bungalow. Sanjay Shirsat said that Sunday and Monday are very important days for us. More people from the group led by Uddhav Thackeray will join us. Many MLAs, corporators and office bearers want to join Shiv Sena. Some of them will join within two days and others in the coming week.
