Participating in a digital interplay, CM Uddhav Thackeray mentioned “If people who voted for me do not survive the Covid-19 pandemic, what is the use of power”.
Without naming the opposition occasion, he added that “acting with lust for power amid Covid-19 will lead to anarchy”.

“I was never politically inclined. I came into politics to help my father. A pandemic after 100 years happens during my tenure as CM. I have never shied away from responsibility. I am doing what I can to the best of my ability,” he mentioned.
When requested if Shive Sena’s alliance with the BJP, that ended on a bitter word after the 2019 Assembly election, could possibly be revived once more, CM Uddhav Thackeray mentioned that there was a belief deficit of their relations after the demise of BJP leaders Pramod Mahajan and Gopinath Munde.
“The BJP is now Delhi-centric. In an alliance, there has to be openness to air differences and resolve them. My new allies (NCP and Congress) treat me with respect. The MVA is an alliance where we had differences, so we are more open now,” he added.
He went on to state that the alliance with the BJP noticed its “golden period” when the 2 events had been in opposition with the saffron ideology holding them collectively and there was mutual belief and respect.
Responding to a different query, he mentioned Congress chief Sonia Gandhi does name him typically.
