Member of Parliament Gajanan Kirtikar’s move to the Shinde Sena on Friday has split the Kirtikar family too, as his son remains loyal to the Uddhav Sena.

The senior Kirtikar is also president of the Sthaniya Lokadhikar Samiti. It works to secure 80 per cent of jobs in government sectors for locals. It has been working with around 30,000 members who are government employees and officers.
