Not All Leaders Were Happy With Ncp Joining Us: Shirsat
Shiv Sena (Eknath Shinde) leader Sanjay Shirsat, said "In politics when our rival gang wants to join us, we have to take them in and that is what BJP did. After NCP joined us, people in our group were upset because some of our leaders will not get their desired position. It is not true that all our leaders are happy with NCP joining us."
"We have informed CM and Dy CM and they will have to resolve this issue...We were always against NCP and even today we are against Sharad Pawar. Udhhav Thackeray was used by Sharad Pawar as the CM.
