Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant slammed Maharashtra BJP President Chandrakant Patil's comment on handing over the Chief Minister's post to someone else and said that he should think before giving such inappropriate comments. Notably, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray was hospitalised recently due to health reasons.

Speaking to ANI, Sawant said, "Uddhav Thackeray ji is keeping healthy and fine. As per the doctors' advice, his movement is restricted. However, he is still working virtually and governmental works are going on. Patil, on the other hand, is making unnecessary claims. Patil should think before making such inappropriate comments."
