Shiv Sena leader Neelam Gorhe, who is also the Deputy Speaker of the State Legislative Council, on Sunday caused a stir at the 98th Marathi Sahitya Sammelan when she alleged that without bribes leaders were not given any post in the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena. The allegations were made by Gorhe during the event, ''Ase Ghadlo Amhi,'' (How our lives were shaped) at the 98th Marathi Sahitya Sammelan. “. in the Uddhav Thackeray-led Sena without giving two Mercedes cars, no one was given any post. This is a fact,'' Gorhe alleged. Gorhe said when Balasaheb Thackeray was alive, he kept watch everywhere. ''After him, the Sena slide began. When Uddhav Thackeray became the Chief Minister, the Sainiks were overjoyed because we thought Balasaheb Thackeray's son had got the post. But soon things began to surface.even MLAs were denied meetings,'' she said. When asked about the allegations of Gorhe, Shiv Sena chief spokesperson Sanjay Raut told The Indian Express,"The Sena has made Gorhe MLC four times. If she says Mercedez is given if a leader wants a post, then she should show the receipts of the cars she bought. Let her show the receipt first and then make allegations. Another Sena leader Sushma Andhare said Neelam Gorhe was in the Shiv Sena (UBT) for 30 years. If what she is alleging is true, then where has she kept such a huge amount of money ? She should answer this question. At Uddhav Thackeray's residence, Gorhe used to be a frequent visitor. She was always seen at Matoshree. In how many cities has she bought the property ? How much has she invested in foreign countries ? She should answer these questions..She is a betrayer,''
