Maharashtra : Uddhav Thackeray’s nephew Nihar Thackeray supports Eknath Shinde faction
Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde has committed a big burglary, giving a blow to the Uddhav Thackeray faction. Uddhav Thackeray’s nephew Nihar Shinde has met Eknath Thackeray and extended his support. Nihar is the son of Uddhav Thackeray’s elder brother Bindumadhav. Earlier, Bal Thackeray’s daughter-in-law Smita Thackeray also met Eknath Shinde. Smita is the ex-wife of Uddhav’s elder brother Jaydev. However, Smita Thackeray had described the meeting with Eknath Shinde as a courtesy call.
Eknath Shinde’s rebellion is creating new crises for Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray. First Eknath Shinde got 40 Shiv Sena MLAs in his side and then formed the government by joining hands with BJP. After this, 12 MPs of Shiv Sena also supported Eknath Shinde. Now a rift has arisen in the Thackeray family itself.
Advice to Nihar to enter politics
Uddhav Thackeray’s nephew Nihar Thackeray met Eknath Shinde on Friday. According to media reports, Shinde said during his meeting with Nihar that he should also enter politics. On this, Nihar talked about doing politics under the leadership of Eknath Shinde.
