The BJP and Shiv Sena held a joint press conference in Mumbai on Friday for the Maharashtra Assembly elections 2019. Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray and Aditya Thackeray were also present. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray put an end to the speculation of Aditya Thackeray becoming chief minister. Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said on Friday that this is only the beginning for his son and that joining politics does not just mean becoming chief minister.
