Uddhav Thackeray, who heads a faction of the Shiv Sena, on Wednesday said that the decision by the Supreme Court on the disqualification of the party's rebel MLAs should come first and then by the Election Commission on who the original party belongs to.

Addressing a press conference, Thackeray said, "if only the elected people form the party, tomorrow anyone with money will become Prime Minister or the Chief Minister."
