Raj Thackeray led MNS suffered its first big jolt before the assembly polls, with its general secretary Shweta Parulkar quitting the party and joining the rival Shiv Sena on Thursday.

Parulkar, who was one of the founders of the MNS, alleged that that the party was doing "big injustice'' to Marathi manoos by dividing them. "I was an MNS candidate for the LS polls and bagged over 1 lakh votes. But I realised that by my candidature, Marathi votes were divided which resulted in the victory of the Congress. I now refuse to be a part of the MNS whose only agenda is to weaken Marathis. Most people who voted for the MNS are realising their mistake and have decided to vote for the Shiv Sena in the assembly elections,'' she said. The MNS has refuted her claim.
