Speaking at the function where Shinde welcomed him to his party, Satamkar said that he was in Shiv Sena for 32 years, but when he faced trouble, the party did not stand by him. He said, “Shinde will support me. I am ready to accept any responsibility given by the CM.” (HT PHOTO)

The three-time corporator was the chairman of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s (BMC) Education Committee. Satamkar was charged with rape in May 2023.

Speaking at the function where Shinde welcomed him to his party, Satamkar said that he was in Shiv Sena for 32 years, but when he faced trouble, the party did not stand by him. He said, “Shinde will support me. I am ready to accept any responsibility given by the CM.”

Meanwhile, Shinde said that his party has got a good worker. “When a worker is in difficulty, he expects support from the boss. If such support is not given, workers get demoralised,” Shinde said.
