He may have taken oath as chief minister on Thursday, but Uddhav Thackeray has not entered full-swing into his role yet, he said on Friday. He still felt like going to Mantralaya to submit a memorandum, he said. Also, the hard bargain by NCP is expected to give the new CM a false start and make the future of the Maha Vikas Aghadi unpredictable. The two parties have been re-negotiating unsuccessfully on sharing the CM's post and the all-crucial home department.

The Maha Vikas Aghadi will sit in its first legislative session today for three days to prove a majority and also elect the Assembly speaker. Sources said that it was decided to give the NCP home department but now the Sena wants the all-important law and order office to be shared on a rotational basis. To counter this, the NCP has put forward a proposal that the CM's post should also be rotated between the two parties, and it should be given the charge of CMO in the last 30 months with a condition that the Sena would keep home department when NCP has its MLA as the head of state.
