Back NDA’s Droupadi Murmu, 12 of 19 Shiv Sena MPs tell Uddhav Thackeray

Twelve out of Shiv Sena’s 19 Lok Sabha MPs were present for a meeting called by party president Uddhav Thackeray on Monday to discuss Sena’s stand for the July 18 presidential poll and urged him to support BJP-led NDA candidate Droupadi Murmu, pushing a demand first articulated by Sena’s south-central Mumbai MP Rahul Shewale last week.
