Shiv Sena leader Rajan Vichare says functionaries of Eknath Shinde usurped shakhas

Shiv Sena leader Rajan Vichare  said functionaries of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena had usurped a shakha (local office) that had been for running here for several years when the party was undivided.

According to a report of PTI, despite an undertaking in the Supreme Court and public statements by Chief Minister Shinde that he or his supporters are not keen to lay claim on Sena properties, 'shakhas' were being grabbed, Vichare alleged at a press conference.

The Lokmanya Nagar shakha has been taken over by Shinde's supporters by force, he alleged. The Election Commission, earlier this month, recognised the Shinde faction as the real Shiv Sena and allotted it the bow and arrow symbol.
