Uddhav Thackeray, Low-Key Heir Of Bal Thackeray, Takes A Bold Leap | Read
Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray will take oath as Chief Minister of Maharashtra on Thursday - the first member of his family to do so. The 59-year-old is set to lead a government of the Shiv Sena-Nationalist Congress Party-Congress alliance, called the Maha Vikas Aghadi. This is also the first time that the Shiv Sena is joining hands with the Congress and the NCP - once bitter adversaries of the regional party founded in 1966 by Uddhav's father Balasaheb Thackeray.
