“But he (Thackeray) betrayed Fadnavis in 2019 (by walking out of the alliance),” Shinde added.Shinde also claimed that while he and rebel Sena MLAs supporting him were camping in Guwahati in 2022 after rebelling against Thackeray, the latter approached him for reconciliation, and at the same time told the BJP leadership in Delhi not to support the rebel group.Shinde said the Thackeray government had announced starting a music school in the name of Lata Mageshkar after the singing legend’s death.But when the Mangeshkar family awarded the first Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Thackeray got so upset that he decided against starting the music school, Shinde claimed.When he became chief minister in 2022, he started the music school, Shinde added.Notably, Shinde’s reminder of Thackeray ‘betraying’ Fadnavis and the BJP in 2019 came a day after the Shiv Sena (UBT) chief met the Maharashtra Chief Minister.A day earlier, Fadnavis, in a tongue-in-cheek remark in the House, had asked Thackeray to come over to the ruling side.
