Amid rebellion in Shiv Sena, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray addressed public on Wednesday. Here's what he said in 10 points:
- Will be happy if another person from Shiv Sena succeeds me as CM if I quit
- Not willing to continue as chief minister. "If any MLA does not want me to continue as the CM, I am ready to take all my belongings from Versha Bungalow (official residence of the CM) to Matoshri"
- Ready to quit even as Shiv Sena chief; let those disgruntled MLAs come forward and demand so
- I have kept letter of my resignation as chief minister ready; willing to resign as CM this very moment
- Sharad Pawar and Kamal Nath phoned me saying they want me to continue as chief minister
- I am surprised and shocked because if Congress and NCP said that I shouldn't be CM then it's different, but today., Kamal Nath also said I should be CM. But when my own people (MLAs) don't want me, what can I say?
- Will quit as chief minister and leave official residence if even one of the disgruntled MLAs says he doesn't want me as CM
- Getting calls from MLAs who have gone with Eknath Shinde. They are claiming that they were forcibly taken away
- Have nothing to worry till the Shiv Sainiks are with me
- Shiv Sena can't be separated from Hindutva
