Former Shiv Sena MLA Harshwardhan Jadhav and late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan's brother Prakash Mahajan on Saturday formally returned to the Raj Thackeray-led Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). Jadhav and Mahajan joined the MNS at Thackeray's residence in Dadar here.

Jadhav, who became a legislator for the first time from Kannad assembly constituency in Aurangabad on the MNS's ticket in 2009, said he was happy to be back in the party. He also said that the cause of Hindutva taken up by Raj Thackeray appealed to him.
