THE TUSSLE between the two factions of Shiv Sena was witnessed on the first day of the Winter Session in Nagpur as the Eknath Shinde-led Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena was allotted the legislature office of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) on the premises of the Nagpur Legislature complex.
The office’s possession was taken by BSS on the first day of the session forcing Shiv Sena (UBT) to move out and shift to a different office allotted to it in the opposite lane of the old premises. Every political party has its legislative party office in the Vidhan Bhavan in Nagpur and the Shiv Sena (UBT) was also allotted an office on the premises.
Leaders of both sections were engaged in a heated exchange over the allotment of office. Some leaders of Sena (UBT) alleged that staffers working in the office misbehaved with us and we were asked to leave.
“There was a woman staffer, who has been working at the office for several years. Some people from the Shinde faction ill-treated her and she felt insulted and broke down,” Sena (UBT) MLC Manisha Kayande said.
Photos of Uddhav Thackeray and his son Aaditya Thackeray were removed, and the photos of Shinde’s political mentor late Anand Dighe and late Sena founder Bal Thackeray were put up in the office later. CM Shinde also visited the office.
Sena (BSS) MLA Sunil Prabhu said, “We have shifted to the new office following the discussion and allotment of the office by the Assembly Speaker. We got the allotment letter order late.”
Meanwhile, Sena (UBT) President Uddhav Thackeray reached Nagpur on Monday evening and held a meeting with party leaders. Thackeray is slated to visit the Vidhan Bhavan on Tuesday morning and attend a meeting of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) to discuss the agenda for the Winter Session.
