In a dig at NCP chief Sharad Pawar over entry of Maharashtra Congress leader Radhakrishna Vikhe Patil’s son Sujay into BJP fold, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday said he believes in fulfilling demands of sons of others, and do not use them for “cleaning utensils”.
In a major embarrassment to the Congress, Opposition leader Radhakrishna Vikhe-Patil’s son Sujay joined the BJP on Tuesday, as he couldn’t get ticket to contest his maiden Lok Sabha poll from home turf of Ahmednagar.
Sujay called on Thackeray at his residence on Wednesday to seek the Sena’s support for his candidature. Ahmednagar falls in the kitty of the Congress’ alliance partner, NCP, which was not ready to vacate the seat for Sujay. “Like my own son, I also care for children of others. It is not Shiv Sena’s style to use children of others to wash utensils. Sena is for the common man,” Thackeray said.
