Uddhav Thackeray was sworn in as Maharashtra's new Chief Minister this evening at the sprawling Shivaji Park in Mumbai, where his father Bal Thackeray addressed his first Dussehra rally to announce the birth of the Shiv Sena in 1966. A statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji presided over the oath-taking of the first Thackeray to take office.
