Shiv Sena Eknath Shinde faction leader and Maharashtra cabinet minister Deepak Kesarkar alleged on Wednesday that Uddhav Thackeray was undermining the legacy of his father and Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray when he met NCP chief Sharad Pawar in the latter's residence in Mumbai on Tuesday.

"Uddhav Thackeray lowered the dignity of Balasaheb Thackeray, Balasaheb Thackeray never went out of Matoshree to meet leaders of other political parties. Uddhav Thackeray undermined Balasaheb's ideology and as a son his respect too," Deepak Kesarkar said.
