A 1:30 AM call to Omraje; "I want Omraje, they want an MP" – Uddhav Thackeray makes a major revelation at the Dharashiv rally.

Dharashiv: While fiercely criticizing MP Omraje Nimbalkar at a public rally in Dharashiv district, Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) chief Uddhav Thackeray revealed details about the events that unfolded on the night before six MPs defected.
Uddhav Thackeray stated that he had made every effort to retain Omraje Nimbalkar within the party before the six MPs broke away. At 1:30 AM, he had sent MLA Kailas Patil and MLA Varun Sardesai to meet Omraje Nimbalkar. During that time, Uddhav Thackeray himself spoke to Omraje Nimbalkar over the phone.
Uddhav Thackeray said, "I told Omraje Nimbalkar, 'Look, I want Omraje, whereas they [the Shinde faction] want an MP. So, you decide.' I am someone who values ??and nurtures people. However, I now realize that this individual is not even worthy of being called a human being."
On this occasion, Uddhav Thackeray strongly criticized Omraje Nimbalkar, labeling him a 'traitor'. He stated at the rally, "I had presented him as the candidate for the people of Dharashiv. But now, I feel ashamed of that. This act of betrayal has taken place in the district of Goddess Tuljabhavani."
The Meeting and Suspicions
Uddhav Thackeray also referred to events during a meeting of MPs. The six MPs were citing various reasons for not attending the meeting in person. However, seeing Omraje Nimbalkar's face during the video conference raised suspicions in his mind.
"That was when a suspicion crossed my mind—that Omraje Nimbalkar’s expression didn't look right; there was malice in his heart," Uddhav Thackeray revealed. During this tour by Uddhav Thackeray, the MPs who defected are being consistently criticized in the public meetings held across Yavatmal, Washim, Hingoli, and Dharashiv districts.
