'Eknath Shinde targeting my son when his own son is MP': Uddhav Thackeray
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, who has been isolated in his own party by a sudden revolt, said coup leader Eknath Shinde was targetting his son Aaditya Thackeray.
According to media reports, one of the causes behind Shinde's revolt was the rise of Aaditya Thackeray as a power centre.
On the issue, Uddhav Thackeray has reportedly said "Shinde has made his own son an MP then why does he have a problem with my son".
According to media reports, Eknath Shinde has claimed that he has the support of 40 MLAs but the number is likely to cross 50 soon.
The Shiv Sena has 55 MLAs in the Maharashtra assembly. Out of them, 40 to 41 are believed to be with Eknath Shinde in Guwahati.
