Vasai's Shiv Sena MLA and chief of the Shramajivi Sanghatana, Vivek Pandit
has a prized possession -- a gift which he claims nobody ever received from Shiv
Sena Supremo Bal Thackeray who passed away in Mumbai yesterday.
"Do you know? I got a very important gift from Balasaheb which nobody gets," he
said, showing a ball pen which was gifted to him by Balasaheb Thackeray, when
Pandit met him after his victory in the assembly elections.
The Sena supremo gave him a ball pen and told him, "This is a special sword I am
giving you to fight evils in society. Make the maximum use of it," Pandit said.
Today when he remembers that special day, Pandit has tears in his eyes and feels
that he received the best gift from the Sena supremo.
Talking to PTI, Pandit remembered the day when the Jaitapur agitation was
on when the Sena supremo expressed his inability to particiapte in it, as he was
85 and not in good health.
"Had my health been better, I would have surely created a havoc for the sake of
Jaitapur today, he said. Ultimately, he was a source of inspiration for us to
carry on agitations," Pandit said.
