Politics in India throws up interesting trends, even amongst family members. According to news agency PTI, incumbent Shiv Sena MP Gajanan Kirtikar's wife, Meghana, on Monday, said she disapproved of her husband's decision to join the party led by Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and voted for her son, Amol, who is a candidate of Shiv Sena (UBT) in the Mumbai North West Lok Sabha constituency.
Following the split in the Shiv Sena, Gajanan Kirtikar sided with Shinde. His son Amol stayed loyal to Uddhav Thackeray and is contesting against Shiv Sena's Ravindra Waikar in the Mumbai North West seat.
Speaking to reporters, Meghana Kirtikar said, "I never supported my husband's decision to join the Shinde faction. I had asked him why he would salute Shinde, who is junior to him. I have voted for my son, and he will win with a huge margin." Speaking to reporters, Meghana Kirtikar said, "I never supported my husband's decision to join the Shinde faction.
