Bhushan Desai, son of former Industries Minister and Thackeray faction leader Subhash Desai, has joined the Shiv Sena of CM Eknath Shinde. In the presence of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, he joined the Shiv Sena today.
Aditya Thackeray, in response, said that Bhushan Desai has nothing to do with the Shiv Sena. 'Those who want to go to the washing machine must go,' he taunted. Subhash Desai is with us. He is with Uddhav Thackeray around the clock. They will not leave us anywhere.

In another major blow to the Thackeray faction, the Election Commission recognized the faction led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde as the Shiv Sena. Along with this, the commission allotted the election symbol of bow and arrow to the Shinde group only
