Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray’s staunch supporter and secretary Shishir Shinde is likely to join Shiv Sena. It is being said that last week, Shinde met Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and had a long discussion on political outcome. It is also being said that, for the last few days, Shinde is not attending MNS party’s meetings and events.
Shishir Shinde started his political career through Shiv Sena and became popular. However, in 2006, he left Shiv Sena and joined Raj Thackeray’s MNS party. He became an MLA in 2009 but lost in the 2014 assembly elections. Last year, he was not considered for the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation elections which made him angry, say sources.
