The presence of Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray’s son Tejas at an election rally on Wednesday prompted speculation of his political moves, but was promptly dismissed by his father. AdvertisingThe Sena president, in his campaign speech, said Tejas, younger sibling of party leader Aaditya Thackeray, had come on the stage merely to watch the rally, held at Sangamner in Ahmednagar district. “Tejas has only come to watch the rally. He is more at home in forest,” Uddhav Thackeray said. In 2016, Tejas was credited with discovery of three new species of freshwater crabs, endemic to the Western Ghats.
