Congress rebel Manoj Shinde set to join Eknath Shinde’s camp after poll defeat
Manoj Shinde, a former Congress leader, will soon join the Shiv Sena. Shinde made the announcement alongside Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's wife. He previously contested and lost the Kopri-Pachpakhadi seat. Shinde cited the Congress party's lack of growth in the Konkan region as his reason for leaving. His formal induction is expected after the new government forms.
Manoj Shinde rebelled against the MVA decision to field Kedar Dighe for the seat and contested the polls from the Kopri-Pachpakhadi seat but faced an embarrassing defeat by garnering barely 1,653 votes
Shinde made the announcement in the presence of Lata Shinde, wife of Maharashtra chief minister Eknath Shinde, during a function in the city on Sunday.
It may be recalled that Manoj Shinde rebelled against the MVA decision to field Kedar Dighe for the seat and contested the polls from the Kopri-Pachpakhadi seat but faced an embarrassing defeat by garnering barely 1,653 votes.
“The chief minister is busy with a few formalities and my formal induction will be done in a few days after the new govt is formed,” Manoj Shinde announced at the event.
The former state Congress functionary alleged his former party didn’t seem intent on growing in Konkan, stagnating the growth of its leaders too, as the reason for rebelling.
