MUMBAI: Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray has, for the first time, expressed his desire to become Maharashtra Chief Minister. He was speaking at a programme organised by a news channel on Saturday.
Mr Thackeray, who has always dodged quest-ions on the CM’s post, was very vocal on the is-sue and assured the peop-le that he will take the state to the top if they voted for the Shiv Sena.
The comment has come when relations between the Shiv Sena and the BJP are strained over the seat-sharing pact for the state polls. There was a veiled warning for the BJP when he said, “Every party wants to expand its base. Decisions should be taken on the basis of ground realities. Ours is a 25-year-old alliance, but it’s good if people remain within limits.”
