Maharashtra Industries Minister and Balasaheb's Shiv Sena leader♛ Uday Samant on Wednesday asked party activists to devote at least two hours every week to work for the🤪 new organisation and strengthen it in the Pune district.
Samant ju✤stified the rebellion by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in June against the leadership of Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) chief Uddhav Thackeray.
The minister was in Pune city to atte𓆏nd a programme organised by the Yuva Sena, the youth wing of🌟 the party.
Addressing party workers, he said, "We have to strengthen the party in Pune district. I assure you that it will become strong in the coming days. Even if you don't work daily for the party, give at least two hours every week for the organisation."
He praised the leadership of Shinde.
"I did not get an opportunity to work with (Shiv Sena founder) Balasah꧂eb Thackeray, but looking at Eknath Shinde, I can feel the presence of Balasaheb. The decision (referring to revolt) taken by Shinde was correct. Now, we have to make the party🌄 strong," he added.
Samant said late Shiv Sena MLA from Mumbai Ramesh Latke would have supported Shinde had he been alive.
Latke's death in May has necess🀅itated a ꦫbypoll in the Andheri (East) Assembly constituency in suburban Mumbai.
He said a rally will be held soon in Pune's Katra🧸j area to highlight the achievements of the Shinde-BJP government which has complete▨d 100 days in office.
