GUWAHATI: After six days since landing in Guwahati, Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde made his first appearance before journalists on Tuesday.

Clad in all white and black shoes, he walked out of the five-star Radisson Blu hotel talking to somebody on his mobile phone.

He approached the journalists, who have been covering the Maharashtra crisis from beyond the hotel’s main entrance 150 metres away since Wednesday, and told them that party spokesperson Deepak Kesarkar would keep updating them.

“Our spokesperson Kesarkar is regularly providing you information on our role and stand. We are taking Balasaheb Thackeray’s Hindutva and the Shiv Sena forward. There is no confusion about it,” Shinde said in Hindi as he was flanked by some persons who could not be identified.

“We will inform you when we decide on our next step,” he added.

The Sena leader also said something in Marathi for the convenience of the Marathi journalists who came from Maharashtra.

According to sources, Shinde said he and the Sena rebels he is leading from the Guwahati hotel would leave for Mumbai on Thursday to meet the governor and stake claim to form the government. He denied reports he would visit Delhi.

Shinde purportedly also said saving Hindutva is their main fight and all steps will be taken to save it.
