Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aditya Thackeray has claimed Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde had come to his residence and cried that he will be arrested by a central agency if he did not switch over to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), before revolting against the Sena leadership.
However, MLA Santosh Bangar from the Shinde-led Shiv Sena denied Thackeray’s claim and said there was no threat by the BJP. The reason behind the “revolt” against Thackerays was their alliance with the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and the Congress, Bangar said.
Union Minister Ramdas Athawale also said the allegations against Shinde were false and the latter was a strong man and he would never cry.
