Hitting out at Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde over his statement on Shiv Sena (UBT) joining hands with the Congress party and foresaking Shiv Sena's ideology, Maharashtra Leader of Opposition (LoP) Vijay Wadettiwar challenged CM Shinde to hold elections in the state, asserting that the election results would reveal who has the support of the public and who has Shiv Sena's ideology, reported news agency ANI.

Vijay Wadettiwar reaction came after Shinde on Tuesday launched a no-holds-barred attack on his predecessor Uddhav Thackeray and said the former joined hands with the Congress and the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), forsaking the party's core Hindutva moorings, to fulfil his personal aspirations of becoming the CM, reported ANI.
