Meanwhile, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray today in his first address after stepping down as CM said “Had Amit Shah kept his word given to me, there would have been a BJP chief minister in Maharashtra now,” he added.“The BJP has backstabbed me for power. I had told Amit Shah earlier as well that there should be a Shiv Sena Chief Minister for 2.5 years (during the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance). Had they done this earlier, there would’ve been no Maha Vikas Aghadi,” said the Shiv Sena chief.
