Two recent political appointments, both people joining the Shiv Sena, have raised eyebrows. Some are surprised, many amused and some others skeptical. Though both say that the overarching sentiment has been complimentary. Krishna Hegde, former MLA from Vile Parle and BJP vice-president (Mumbai unit), jumped political ship to the Sena on February 5. Hegde was earlier with the Congress, so in a way he has come back to the fold, given that Sena and Congress are allies in the state government.
