When Anand Dighe died on August 26, 2001, what really happened?

Shinde, whose resistance in June split the Shiv Sena down the center and prompted the fall of the Sena-drove alliance Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, was in Malegaon
Mumbai: In a new open gathering boss pastor Eknath Shinde didn’t mince his words when he said that he would before long make a disclosure that would cause “a political tremor”, in the state as well as in the country. The large uncover he suggested related to the passing of the late Shiv Sena strongman Anand Dighe, who kicked the bucket after a mishap in 2001.

Shinde, whose resistance in June split the Shiv Sena down the center and prompted the fall of the Sena-drove alliance Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government, was in Malegaon, on a state visit on July 30, when he said, “I know a couple of things about what has been going on with Anand Dighe. I have not spoken about something very similar yet I will do it before long… I won’t express a few things transparently today, yet will do as such brilliantly. Right now, there is a spate of meetings. On the day that I stand up and when I am consulted, there will be a tremendous seismic tremor in the state, yet in the country.”
Shinde was alluding to previous CM and Sena president Uddhav Thackeray’s meetings to the Shiv Sena mouthpiece ‘Saamana’ carried on 26 and 27 July.

Shinde, who began his political vocation as a party specialist in Thane and rose through the positions subsequent to turning into a shakha pramukh and afterward a corporator, was among those by and by coached by Dighe. Over twenty years after Dighe’s demise — he died on August 26, 2001 of a respiratory failure — the Thane chief’s awesome picture poses a potential threat in the Sena even today.

Dighe was harmed in a fender bender that happened on the morning of August 25 out of 2001. He was taken to the Sunitidevi Singhania Hospital in Thane and treated for a broke leg. The specialists carried out a procedure on Dighe the next day. Nonetheless, he experienced two cardiovascular failures sometime thereafter. He died around 10.30 pm — Uddhav Thackeray, then, at that point, a Sena pioneer, made it known of Dighe’s demise to Sainiks who had assembled nearby.

Prakash Paranjape, a Shiv Sena MP from Thane who was with Dighe during his last hours told the nearby media at the time that Dighe had passed on following two coronary episodes. The specialists had made an honest effort to resuscitate him yet couldn’t save him, other Sena pioneers told the media. Nonetheless, the accumulated crowd went on the frenzy and obliterated the clinic. A few party laborers emerged on streets and scoured vehicles, in any event, burning a rescue vehicle.

On July 31, a day after Shinde’s claims, Thackeray declared that Kedar Dighe, the nephew of the late Thane strongman, would be the new Thane region head of the Sena. Kedar Dighe, who had played out the incineration ceremonies of his uncle in 2001, asked why Shinde had decided to keep quiet such a long time on the off chance that he realized what had befallen Dighe.
