Uddhav Thackeray To Lead The Govt in Maharashtra: Raut

The second biggest group supporting the NDA after the BJP, the Sena has 18 Lok Sabha MPs and had been a constituent of the NDA during the tenure of former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, and later in the first term of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and the first six months of Modi's second tenure.

However, after a bitter public brawl over the post of Chief Minister and other power-sharing squabbles with former CM Devendra Fadnavis and others, the Sena is now charting a new course by preparing to form the Maharashtra government with the NCP-Congress, stunning the BJP.
