Shiv Senas resign en mass, join Raj Thackeray


Former Shiv Sena leader Raj Thackeray, who had announced that he would be forming a new party, has received a boost with around 2,500 Shiv Sainiks led by a corporator quitting the Sena and joining him.

The Sainiks, led by two-term corporator Dilip Lande, on Sunday dashed off letters to Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray stating they were quitting the party.

After Raj announced his rebellion on November 27 against the Sena leaders, whom he termed as 'clerks' running the party, Lande was among the first to publicly side with him.
