Abhijeet Sawant joins Shiv Sena
Abhijeet Sawant, the winner of the first edition of the TV show ``Indian Idol'', joined Shiv Sena on Saturday with a mandate to attract the youth to the party fold.
In a not too unexpected development, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray late Monday severed all ties with his nephew Raj Thackeray, who had walked out of the fold three years ago to form the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena that severely dented the Shiv Sena-Bharatiya Janata Party alliance in the state in the general elections.
