Uddhav Thackeray

In 1997, he was elected to the Thane Municipal Corporation. The Shiv Sena assigned him to work in Thane, which allowed him to establish a presence in the area.

After a tumultuous week in which Uddhav Thackeray resigned after losing the majority of MLAs in his Shiv Sena in a mutiny, the BJP's Devendra Fadnavis is expected to return as Chief Minister of Maharashtra. Uddhav Thackeray resigned as Chief Minister of Maharashtra yesterday, just after the Supreme Court declared that he must establish his majority.

Chairing a cabinet meeting even as his government faces a serious crisis, Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray said his own people betrayed him.

"The Governor travelled at the speed of a jet. It was at breakneck speed. Even a Rafale jet cannot compete with this speed," Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said.

The MLAs will not be flying directly to Mumbai. Instead, they will camp in Goa on Wednesday and travel to Mumbai on Thursday.

Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari has asked the crisis-hit MVA government to prove its majority in the Assembly on Thursday.

"Some MLAs' families have also contacted me and expressed their concerns." "I respect your feelings as Shiv Sena's family head and tell you from the bottom of my heart to clear the air," Uddhav Thackeray said.

"We are in Shiv Sena, and we are advancing Shiv Sena. There should be no question about it," Shinde said in his first reaction since arriving in Guwahati. "Will return to Mumbai soon," said Shinde.

The banners posted by the Rashtravadi Yuvak Congress in Guwahati targetted the rebel MLAs and read, 'The entire nation is watching the traitors who are hiding in Guwahati. People will not forgive such cowards'.
