Shiv Sena (UBT) president Uddhav Thackeray sympathised with Chhagan Bhujbal and the MLAs of Mahayuti who are upset because they have not been inducted into the cabinet. Thackeray said Bhujbal has been in touch with him and has felt bad about the veteran leader not being considered by Ajit Pawar and the Nationalist Congress Party. 

“I felt very bad about Bhujbal. In fact, I feel deeply about others, too. Many people have gone there (Mahayuti) with great expectations. Some of them got to wear the jackets (were sworn in as ministers). Others are still waiting for it. I sympathise with them. What Bhujbal has said about not staying where he doesn't feel good is quite correct,” said Thackeray at a press conference in Nagpur on Tuesday. He was here to attend the Winter Session.
