Summary:
The wheel seems to have turned full-circle for one of the Shiv Sena's original dissidents, Bhaskar Jadhav. After a bitter fallout with the leadership, especially then party working president Uddhav Thackeray in 2004, Jadhav rebelled against the Sena and later joined the NCP. On Friday, Jadhav, who cut his teeth as a Shiv Sainik in 1982, will rejoin his parent party. Though Shiv Sena leaders like Narayan Rane and later, Raj Thackeray quit the party in 2005, posing the most potent existential challenge for the Sena, Jadhav was seen as one of the original dissidents of the party in that decade. Jadhav, who created a flutter by meeting Uddhav last month at the latter's residence of 'Matoshree' in Mumbai, confirmed that he would join the Shiv Sena..
