He was speaking at a Dalit rally organised by the Sena at Shivaji Park today.There was no awkwardness about the entire exercise, the Sena chief claimed. ``There was no dispute, uneasiness or argument over the issue. ``Every political party shuffles its cards from time to time; I have done the same.''The rally, coordinated by Social Welfare Minister Babanrao Gholap, turned out to be a damp squib with no more than 10,000 dalits having assembled to hear the Sena leaders, including Joshi, speak.
