Former Congress spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi on Friday joined the Shiv Sena. Addressing a press conference with Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray, Priyanka said she left the Congress after being upset over the reinstatement of party workers who misbehaved with her. "It is not true that I quit the Congress after being denied Lok Sabha ticket," Priyanka said in response to a query. Welcoming her to the party fold, Uddhav said Shiv Sena workers have found a "good sister" in Priyanka. Priyanka was miffed at the reinstatement of some party workers in Uttar Pradesh who had "misbehaved" and "threatened" her during her press conference in Mathura a few days ago.
