THANE: Several netas switching loyalties seems to have become the latest conflict point between leaders of the NCP and Shiv Sena led by Eknath Shinde in Thane.
The latest tiff between the party leaders at the local level was triggered Wednesday following Sena spokesperson Naresh Mhaske questioning the moral ground on which the NCP was observing ‘traitor’s day.’ Mhaske said Sharad Pawar had himself set the trend of rebellion after he rebelled against his own parent party and formed the NCP several years back.
It may be recalled the Thane NCP leaders had staged a demonstration condemning the ‘rebellion’ by chief minister Eknath Shinde last year which eventually led to the downfall of the MVA government last year.
