‘First announce the CM face and then start the election campaign…’, Uddhav Thackeray appeals to MVA allies

Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray, an alliance partner of the opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in Maharashtra, on Friday spoke about the chief ministerial candidate. He said that his party will unconditionally support any candidate announced by the Congress and Sharad Pawar’s NCP in the upcoming assembly elections.

Uddhav Thackeray stressed during an MVA meeting that the Maharashtra Assembly elections to be held later this year will be a fight to protect the self-respect of the state.

Thackeray said, “There is speculation about the MVA’s CM face. I appeal to all the alliance leaders, be it Prithviraj Chavan or Sharad Pawar, to declare their choice for CM and I will support them unconditionally.” He urged the MVA allies to first announce the chief ministerial candidate and then start the campaign.
