No resentment, says Shiv Sena MP as son denied ticket for Thane civic polls

THANE: (Dec 31) After the Shiv Sena, led by Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, denied ticket to his son for the upcoming civic polls in Thane, local MP Naresh Mhaske said he was not upset over the move.

In a Facebook post, Mhaske said his family would continue to work for the Shiv Sena with full commitment, as he had never questioned the decisions taken under the leadership of Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, who heads the party.

Mhaske said his son Ashutosh had worked sincerely and quietly to resolve citizens’ grievances. “He worked not for any post, but purely as a Shiv Sainik. Naturally, citizens were keen that my son should continue working in the same area where I served,” he said, adding that people’s disappointment was understandable.
