MUMBAI: Milind Narvekar, Shiv Sena secretary and close aide of chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, was appointed as a member of the Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams Trust Board, while Rahul Kanal, a Yuva Sena functionary who is a close to tourism minister Aaditya Thackeray, was appointed a member of the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust in Shirdi.
Sena now has three leaders on key temple trusts that are also among the richest in the country. Shiv Sena’s Aadesh Bandekar is chairperson of the Siddhivinayak Temple Trust.
Thackeray reportedly spoke to Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy to appoint Narvekar as one of the 24 members of the trust.
Following the appointment, Narvekar thanked Thackeray and AP government in a post on Twitter. Kanal too posted a tweet thanking the Thackerays.
