Shiv Sena Spokesperson Naresh Mhaske's remarks came against the backdrop of Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut's claim that MLAs and MPs from the Shinde faction were keen to rejoin Uddhav Thackeray's party.
The Shiv Sena on Saturday claimed that two newly elected Lok Sabha members from the Uddhav Thackeray's Shiv Sena are in touch with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Addressing a press conference here, Shiv Sena spokesperson Naresh Mhaske refused to name the two Lok Sabha members citing the anti-defection law, but said that four more lawmakers would soon join the two and cross over to the Shinde-led party.
"The two Lok Sabha members were unhappy with the manner in which Uddhav Thackeray sought votes from a particular community, who came in busloads," Mr Mhaske, the newly elected Lok Sabha member from Thane, said.
