In a setback for Shiv Sena (UBT), former MLA Sachin Ahir on Tuesday joined the faction led by Maharashtra deputy chief minister Eknath Shinde. Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray with son Aaditya Thackeray arrives to pay tribute to singing legend Asha Bhosle in Mumbai.

Confirming the development, Shrikant Shinde said Ahir had formally joined the Shiv Sena and was handed the nomination form for the deputy chairman’s election.
