Maintaining discipline within the party is crucial. The son of a king will not automatically inherit the throne here. Instead, it is the one who diligently works that will ascend to leadership. People have lots of expectations from us. work for them and strengthen the party," Shinde asserted in a veiled attack on Uddhav Thackeray.
