Amid the political turmoil in Maharashtra, former Shiv Sena MLA from Pune district Vijay Shivtare on Wednesday threatened that if party president and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray does not snap ties with the NCP and Congress, he will have "no other option" but to support the rebel legislators led by Eknath Shinde.

He claimed that although he had written letters to Thackeray alleging that several development projects were either shifted away from his constituency or stalled by the NCP, the chief minister allegedly paid no attention to his grievances.
