Uddhav, Bhujbal to share dais in Nagpur tomorrow

Nagpur, Nov 19 (UNI) Shiv Sena executive president Uddhav Thackeray and Maharashtra Minister for Public Works and former Sena activist Chhagan Bhujbal will share the dais at an award function here tomorrow.

Mr Thackeray and Mr Bhujbal would attend the function to give away the Prabodhankar Thackeray Award to noted social thinker Dr B L Bhole, a spokesman for the organisers, Marwadi Foundation, told UNI.

Mr Bhujbal quit the Shiv Sena nearly 17 years ago. He had engineered a split in the Shiv Sena Legislature Party during the winter session of the Maharashtra Legislature here in 1991.

A few weeks ago, Mr Bhujbal withdrew, as a 'gesture of goodwill,' a defamation case that he had filed against Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray.
