Day after ‘scope to come here' quip, Uddhav Thackeray meets Devendra Fadnavis
A day after 'you have the scope to come here' joke, Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday met Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Thackeray gifted a book titled 'Hindichi Sakti Havich Kashala?' (What is the need of making Hindi mandatory?) to Fadnavis during the meeting. Uddhav Thackeray's son MLA Aditya Thackeray was also present at the meeting.
On Wednesday, during the farewell of Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC and Leader of Opposition, Ambadas Danve, whose term ends in August, Fadnavis made an open offer to former chief minister Thackeray to join the Mahayuti.
'Uddhavji, now we don't have to do anything till 2029. We have no scope left to come there (to opposition benches). But you have the scope to come here (to treasury benches). We can think about it differently. We will talk differently,' Fadnavis said.
Thackeray did not respond directly to Fadnavis' offer while joining others in amusement.
