Mumbai: In yet another jolt to Uddhav Thackeray, his brother Jaidev Thackeray extended his support to Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde during the Dussehra rally at Mumbai's BKC ground on Wednesday. Jaidev also shared the stage with Shinde during the celebrations.

Expressing support to the Maharashtra chief minister, Jaidev said, "Don't leave Eknath Shinde alone. He is working for farmers and commoners".

Meanwhile, Maharashtra CM Eknath Shinde and leaders from his faction attended the Shiv Sena Dussehra rally on MMRDA ground. He paid tribute to Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray.

Shinde lambasted his former party leader Uddhav Thackeray over the alliance with Congress and called him a traitor. "Balasaheb Thackeray made an alliance with BJP. You did gaddari, we are not gaddar. You have committed a sin... go apologise to Balasaheb samadhi at Shivaji park," he said.

The Shiv Sena leader further lauded his governance and said that while Uddhav Thackeray betrayed the people of Maharashtra and sold the ideology of Balasaheb Thackeray, he has brought about a revolution. "You point at us for stealing your father but you have sold your father and the packed ground here is an example of it," he said.

Shiv Sena's Shinde faction leader Ramdas Kadam called out Uddhav Thackeray saying, "Even your brother, cousins or Raj Thackeray are not with you Uddhav ji, if you cannot even keep your family intact, how will you keep the state intact?"

In his attack, Shinde said, "This is not your (Uddhav Thackeray) pvt ltd company. The Shiv Sena is of Shiv-Sainiks who have given their sweat for it. Not for people like you, who did partnerships and sold it."
