MLAs Aditya Thackeray, Bhaskar Jadhav, Sunil Prabhu, Ajay Chaudhary, Varun Sardesai, and MLC Milind Narvekar, among others, were present," the Sena (UBT) said in its post.
On Wednesday, speaking at the farewell function for the leader of opposition in the council, UBT Sena's Ambadas Danve, the CM, in a tongue-in-cheek remark, told Uddhav Thackeray that the BJP was not likely to join him in the opposition, but he could come over to the ruling side.
