Shiv Sena chief Eknath Shinde and his rival, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, clashed on Friday at separate functions to mark the 60th foundation anniversary of the regional party.
Thackeray said he was ready to quit his post if the party didn’t have faith in him, while Shinde hinted at more defections from the rival camp.
None of the six rebel Lok Sabha MPs of the Shiv Sena (UBT) was present at any of the events.
Thackeray blamed the BJP for the split and pointed out that his party fought against the Congress for decades, but the national party never tried to finish the Sena.
Shinde dared Thackeray to act against the six rebels and said the defections were only a trailer of a longer film.
