The Shiv Sena has made it clear that party chief Uddhav Thackeray would be its chief ministerial candidate.
Addressing a party conclave at Alibaug, Yuva Sena leader Aditya
Thackeray exhorted Sainiks to take two oaths – they would ensure that
Narendra Modi becomes the prime minister and Uddhav would head the
government in Maharashtra.
Uddhav was not present on the dais when his son Aditya made the
announcement. When asked for his reaction, Uddhav replied: “I will go
home and discuss this issue with Aditya.”
However, sources said Aditya’s announcement was made with the full
knowledge of Uddhav and was aimed at pre-empting the projection of any

campaign.
The BJP, which is a long-time ally of the Sena, is of the opinion that
there is no question of projecting anyone as chief minister. “The chief
minister will be from the party which has maximum number of assembly
seats,” a senior BJP leader said.
“In any case, the CM candidate will be collectively decided by our
