Shiv Sena will retain Mayor's post: Uddhav

As uncertainty loomed large in the BMC polls due to a hung house, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray today exuded confidence that the party will retain the coveted Mayor's post, even as he hesitated to give a definitive answer on whether there would be an alliance. 

As the results of the civic polls trickled in, Sena was at the top after winning 84 seats in the 227-member



BMC, while its estranged ally BJP was close behind at 82.

"What is the hurry? Wait for some time. We have not yet decided if an alliance is to be made or not. We will do so soon," Thackeray said at a press conference.

"But I can assure that not only the Mayor, even the future Chief Minister will be from the Sena," he said.
