Sheetal Mhatre
Even as Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray kicked off âNistha Yatra' in a bid to connect with local party workers, former corporator Sheetal Mhatre joined the Eknath Shinde camp on Tuesday.
Mhatre met Chief Minister Shinde at his official residence on Tuesday evening. "Shiv Sena is moving away from Balasaheb's thoughts. CM Shinde is trying to save Shiv Sena. Therefore, I have supported him," Mahtre said after joining his camp.
Mhatre has been a two-time corporator from Dahisar. She became the first former corporator from Mumbai to join the Shinde camp.
Earlier in the day, she posted a message on a WhatsApp group of journalists, stating, "Will meet Chief Minister Eknath at his official bungalow, Nandanvan. Party workers and office-bearers also express support to the chief minister."
