Mumbai: Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray has said that the alliance of Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) and Congress in Maharashtra, will form a stable government in the state and work for the people. The alliance of the three parties is known as ‘Maha Vikas Aghadi’.
After meeting Maharashtra Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari late on Tuesday night, Aaditya said Maha Vikas Aghadi has elected Uddhav Thackeray saheb as their leader. He (Governor) gave us his time today, and the chance to form the government.
While addressing a media he said, “Maha Vikas Aghadi has elected Uddhav Thackeray saheb as their leader. Governor gave us the chance to form government in the state. We want to work for the people and will provide a stable government to the state.”
He had also met the NCP chief Sharad Pawar at his residence and said that the parties have come together to “take Maharashtra forward”.
A delegation of NCP, Congress and Shiv Sena leaders met the Governor on Tuesday, following which it was announced that Uddhav Thackeray will take the oath of office on Thursday (November 28) at 5 pm in Shivaji Park.
Leaders of Maha Vikas Aghadi, an alliance of Shiv Sena, NCP and Congress in the state, had submitted a letter to the Governor announcing that Thackeray had been elected as the leader of the tri-party alliance.
This event comes after the resignation of the Devendra Fadanvis after SC asked him to prove the majority in the 288-member Assembly before 5 pm on Wednesday.
In a surprising turn of events, Fadnavis and NCP’s Ajit Pawar were administered oath as the Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister of the state, respectively, on Saturday morning, nixing Shiv Sena, Congress and NCP`s bid to form government in the state.
