Eknath Shinde: Shiv Sena Minister Eknath Shinde said in a special conversation with ABP News that, “I am constantly being called a rebel which is absolutely wrong. We are devotees of Balasaheb Thackeray and are Shiv Sainiks.” Eknath further claimed that, “At present I have 46 MLAs with me and the number will increase further.”

On the other hand, while rejecting the statement of Nitin Deshmukh taking forcibly, he said in a joking manner that, if we had taken the force by force, we would have come to leave them too. At the same time, Eknath further said, Shivsena party is a party with Hindutva ideology. We are working to take his idea forward. When ABP spoke to him on condition, he denied it and said that I have not put any condition on the alliance with BJP. We 46 MLAs will meet now and decide the strategy ahead.
