Uddhav Thackeray clarifies CM ambition

India Blooms News Service | | 15 Oct 2014, 10:37 am
Mumbai, Oct 15 (IBNS): Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday made a direct statement triggering the issue of his chief ministerial ambitions, media reports said.

“If a chaiwala (tea seller) can become the prime minister, I can definitely become the state’s chief minister,” Thackeray said in party mouthpiece Saamna on Wednesday morning.

Voting is being held for 288 assembly constituencies in Maharashtra and 90 seats in Haryana. About 10 crore people are expected to exercise their franchises.

The Bharatiya janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena snapped their 25-year old ties over the issue of seat sharing agreement. Who would be chief minister was also at the core of the BJP’s fallout with the Shiv Sena, sources said.

The BJP has not projected any particular name for the chief ministerial post but Maharashtra unit chief Devendra Fadnavis and senior leader Eknath Khadse are expected to be frontrunners, reports said.
