Asserting that he has given a word to his father to have a party chief minister, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray said he did not need BJP leaders Amit Shah and Devendra Fadnavis to fulfill the promise. He also accused BJP leaders of saying that he had lied on talks about power-sharing and said he will not tolerate it.

Addressing a press conference soon after Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis submitted his resignation, Thackeray said the whole world knows that the Sena chief and his son cannot speak lies and he does not need a certificate.
