Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray on Wednesday said his father and former Maharashtra chief minister Uddhav Thackeray is the “most accepted face” in the state at present.
While Congress leaders have pointed out that the chief minister’s post traditionally goes to the party in an alliance that wins the highest number of seats, Aaditya said at the India Today Conclave here that his father was one of the “foremost leaders who can lead Maharashtra.”
Congress, Shiv Sena (UBT) and NCP (Sharadchandra Pawar) are part of the Opposition’s Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in the state and INDIA grouping at the national level.
Asked what would the Sena (UBT) do if the Congress won more seats in the coming state elections, Thackeray referred to the work done by his father’s government during the coronavirus pandemic, and said it was one of the best governments of the past few decades.
