Uddhav reached to meet party MLAs
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray arrived at the hotel in Malad to meet party MLAs. To avoid the politics of sabotage, newly elected Shiv Sena MLAs have been kept in a hotel for the last four days. There is disappointment among the MLAs. On Tuesday, meetings of party leaders went on throughout the day at Uddhav’s residence Matoshree. There is resentment among Shiv Sainiks for not giving enough time to Shiv Sena by the Governor. Uddhav rushed to meet the MLAs so that the morale of Shiv Sainiks and MLAs did not fall. He is accompanied by senior party leaders Subhash Desai, Diwakar Rawate, Eknath Shinde, Aditya Thackeray and other leaders. People are curious about what decision Uddhav will take regarding going with the Congress-NCP.

Senior Congress leaders have reached Mumbai. We will decide further by meeting with Congress. We do not have a clear majority. A government can be formed only with the Shiv Sena. Further decision will be taken by negotiating with Congress.
