It (dahi handi) was very difficult, high, and we had to put up 50 strong layers but we succeeded, said Eknath Shinde, alluding to his rebellion against Shiv Sena leadership in June.
Alluding to his rebellion against the Shiv Sena leadership in June which toppled the Sena-NCP-Congress coalition government in the state, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday said he and his supporters "broke a very tough Dahi Handi".
Mr Shinde, who was sworn in as chief minister on June 30 with the support of the BJP and 50-odd MLAs including those from the Shiv Sena, attended a Dahi Handi event at Tembhi Naka in Thane.
"You are breaking a Dahi Handi now. We broke a very tough Dahi Handi one and a half months back. It was very difficult, high, and we had to put up 50 strong layers but we succeeded," said the rebel Shiv Sena leader.
While Shiv Sena founder Bal Thackeray wanted a party worker to become Maharashtra Chief Minister, the late Anand Dighe wanted a Sena worker from Thane to get the top post, he said.
