Mumbai: A day after Union home minister Amit Shah said the Eknath Shinde-led party is now the only Shiv Sena, Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Sunday asserted that the only Shiv Sena is the one headed by him.“Some outsider came to Kolhapur. He made a new discovery that there is only one Shiv Sena. Yes, there is only one Shiv Sena; it is mine, ours and Balasaheb’s Shiv Sena. There was only one Shiv Sena chief and there will be no other Shiv Sena chief. BJP might do with any president, but there is only one Shiv Sena chief… People will not accept anyone else as Shiv Sena chief,” Thackeray said at a rally in Bhandup, in the constituency of rebel MP Sanjay Dina Patil.Suggesting that “outsiders must stay within their limits”, he said, “Shiv Sena was formed for the rights of the Marathi manoos to stop attacks from outsiders… You have the chair today. So, people are scared of you. But once I come on to the battlefield, I don’t need anyone’s security… I have Shiv Sainiks.”Thackeray visited shakhas in Bhandup and Kanjurmarg as he began a tour of the constituencies of all six rebel party MPs. He is set to visit Yavatmal, Hingoli, Parbhani, Dharashiv and Shirdi next.
