For Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray is the new chief minister but for his 82-year-old aunt in Pune, he is still 'Dingya'. "Balashaheb would have been so proud of him right now," said Sanjeevani Karandikar, the Sena chief's paternal aunt residing in Pune's Kothrud area.

A retired Reserve Bank of India employee, Karandikar resides in Pune with her elder daughter Swati Soman. It was a festive scene at their residence on Thursday evening as Thackeray took his CM's oath at Shivaji Park in Mumbai.
