Pune: Union Minister Narayan Rane on Saturday said four MLAs of the Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena were in touch with him to join the ruling group led by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde but refused to reveal names.
Rane was in Pune in connection with the Union government's 'Rozgar Mela', under which Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually handed over appointment letters to government job aspirants in Delhi.
Rane said there were hardly six to seven MLAs left in the Uddhav Thackeray faction and those too are on the way out. Four MLAs are in touch with me but I won't reveal their names, Rane said.
Mocking Thackeray, the Union minister said the former's politics is confined to Matoshree, the private residence of the Thackerays in Bandra in Mumbai and a power centre of the party along with Sena Bhavan. He said there is no faction of the Sena left.
Speaking about the Rozgar Mela, Rane welcomed PM Modi for asking various government departments and ministries in June to recruit 10 lakh people on a 'mission mode' in the next year and a half.
