Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Nirupam has alleged that Uddhav Thackeray, chief of Shiv Sena (UBT), held a secret meeting with the Gupta family during his recent visit to Delhi. The Gupta family has been implicated in various scams in South Africa. Nirupam stated that while Thackeray`s meetings with leaders of the INDIA bloc were widely publicised, the meeting with a member of the Gupta family was kept confidential, reported ANI. 

Nirupam told ANI, "It was publicly announced that Uddhav Thackeray went to Delhi to meet the leaders of the INDIA bloc. The meetings he had with all the leaders were publicized widely. But one meeting was kept secret and that was with a member of the Gupta family. Gupta`s family committed scams in South Africa and they had to abscond from there in 2018."
