MUMBAI: Soon after the exodus of MLAs began from the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena on June 21, individual members of dahi handi pathaks and Ganpati mandals flooded their social media displays with solidarity messages for the former CM.
However, that is water under the bridge. Eager to resume the sport after two pandemic years, govinda teams say the split in Sena ranks will not dampen dahi handi celebrations. Mandals affiliated with Uddhav Thackeray have no qualms joining competitions being organised by MLAs of the breakaway Eknath Shinde faction, like Pratap Sarnaik.
