Maharashtra MLA Deepak Kesarkar, who is from the Eknath Shinde camp, on Friday said that former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray "is a big stature leader" and they won't speak against him.

Kesarkar, who was the spokesperson of the rebel group of Shiv Sena during the Maharashtra political crisis, said that they will speak to former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray at the right time and all misunderstandings will be sorted out.

"Uddhav Thackeray is a big stature leader and we won't speak against him. We will speak to him at the right time. All the misunderstandings will be sorted out," he told the media.

Kesarkar said NCP chief Sharad Pawar called Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and congratulated him.

"He also said that you belong to Satara so I expect many things from you for Satara... There is a rule of ED now but it's not that ED. ED here means 'E' for Eknath Shinde &'D' for Devendra Fadvanis," Kesarkar said.
