Amid the suspense over who will become Maharashtra CM, Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske said, "Eknath Shinde expressed in a press conference two days ago that we are not interested in the CM's chair." He further said, "Whatever decision the leaders of Mahayuti take, we stand behind them. We aren't Uddhav Thackeray, we'll not leave the alliance for the chair."
