Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam said after six MPs joined Shiv Sena, a seventh MP close to Uddhav Thackeray wanted to join Eknath Shinde's party. "He demanded a cabinet post which Eknath Shinde declined...I won't name him but he sits next to Uddhav Thackeray," he added. The six rebel MPs earlier claimed Shiv Sena (UBT) planned to merge with Congress.
