Rajesh Shah and politics
The special thing is that the then Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray had given the responsibility of party related work related to Thane and Palghar to Shinde. It is said that since then Shinde and Shah have been working together. The special thing is that leaders of both factions of Shiv Sena praise Shah’s management, network and financial strength. He has a house in Kelve-Mahim area of Palghar. It is said that he has good relations with all communities in Palghar.
However, it is also said that he is not a mass leader, but he keeps participating in programs like Ram Navami, Hanuman Jayanti, Mahavir Jayanti and Ambedkar Jayanti. He also helps local organizers. Apart from this, he also keeps holding meetings with local officials, organizations and community leaders.
Speaking to Hindustan Times, a Shiv Sena functionary from Palghar said, “Due to some reasons at the organisational level, in April 2023, CM Shinde made Kundan Sankhe the district head of the party in Palghar, but he also made Shah the deputy leader of Palghar to make it clear that he has not been sidelined.”
