Senior Shiv Sena-Uddhav Baladaheb Thackeray leader from Thane, Anita Birje, joined the Shiv Sena led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Saturday night.

Shinde welcomed Birje into the Sena fold at a function attended by several workers of the party, mainly women.

Birje, who headed the women's wing of Shiv Sena-UBT in Thane, had been a loyalist of the late Sena veteran Anand Dighe, the political mentor of Shinde.

Birje, however, chose to remain with Uddhav Thackeray after the undivided Sena split in June 2022. -- PTI
