MUMBAI: Rebel Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Shirsat’s allegations that the chief minister remained unavailable to legislators and was flanked by a coterie that cut off access to him has put the focus on the CM’s Office and its working over the last 2-3 years.
To add grist to the mill, a recorded conversation is circulating on social media of a purported phone chat between Sena MLA Shahaji Patil and a party worker in which Patil is heard praising Thackeray as a “good man” while complaining that he wrote 14 letters to the CM to name an irrigation scheme after Bal Thackeray and even then it did not happen.
