India Today
Former Shiv Sena corporator from Pune, Pramod Bhangire, on Saturday extended support to Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Former Shiv Sena corporator Pramod Bhangire from Pune and his aides have extended their support to Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Bhangire, who represented ward number 46 in the Mohammadwadi-Hadapsar area, is the first former corporator from Pune to express support for the Shinde faction.
Pramod Bhangire told India Today, "My position is unambiguous. I do not want to split the Shiv Sena, but there are many grassroots Shivsainiks who want to join the Eknath Shinde camp."
The Shiv Sena had 10 corporators in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), whose term ended recently. The civic body is currently under an administrator.
As Shinde is expected to travel to Pandharpur in Solapur district via Pune on Saturday evening, Bhangire said he, along with hundreds of supporters, will greet the chief minister at Hadapsar.
