Exec editor of Sena's Hindi mouthpiece quits, may join BJP

December 31, 2015 20:05

Prem Shukla, executive editor of Shiv Sena's Hindi language mouthpiece 'Dopahar ka Saamna', today resigned from his post. Shukla, not holding any political post with the saffron outfit, is likely to join the BJP, a source close to him said.

He was believed to have fallen out with Sena president Uddhav Thackeray of late. Shukla e-mailed his resignation this afternoon to Uddhav, the Editor and Chief Trustee of 'Prabodhan Prakashan', the publisher of the tabloid. Shukla, who started his career with 'Nirbhay Pathik', joined 'Dophar ka Saamna' as chief reporter in 1993 before quitting in 1998.

He was appointed as editor by Uddhav in 2005, after his predecessor Sanjay Nirupam quit.
