Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray inaugurates Shivaji fort replica near Mumbai airport

While speaking at the inauguration function Chief Minister Thackeray did not touch on political issue but said he would address them on May 14, when Shiv Sena is scheduled to hold a rally in the metropolis

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray inaugurated a replica of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj's fort near Mumbai international airport on Sunday.
He did not touch on political issues while speaking at the inauguration function and said he would address them on May 14, when Shiv Sena is scheduled to hold a rally in the metropolis.

In a lighter vein, he turned towards the party's Lok Sabha MP Arvind Sawant and said he believed the latter would offer him a saffron shawl, going on to add that "it is not required".

The remark may have been a jibe at Maharashtra Navnirman Sena chief Raj Thackeray, who has taken a strident Hindutva stance of late, and is often seen being offered a saffron shawl by supporters.
