Former Thane corporator Hanumant Jagdale on Friday said he was quitting the Nationalist Congress Party and joining the Balasahebanchi Shiv Sena of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Addressing a press conference, he said he took this decision as it was not possible to carry out development works without the support of the ruling party.
He said some other former corporators and workers of the NCP will join BSS on Sunday.
