Slamming Thackeray, Shinde, who heads the rebel faction of the party, said the Shiv Sena was not a private limited company and maintained the 56-year-old outfit was built through the hard work of common Sena workers.
He said Thackeray never went beyond “hum do hamare do", a reference to his sons Aaditya and Tejas Thackeray. Shinde said while Uddhav Thackeray became the chief minister in November 2019, he made his son Aaditya a cabinet member, too.
The rally was attended by Jaidev Thackeray, brother of Uddhav Thackeray, and his estranged wife Smita Thackeray. Nihar Thackeray, the grandson of late Bal Thackeray and son of Bindumadhav, also attended the rally besides Champa Singh Thapa, a long-time personal aide of the Sena founder.
