Mumbai: Shiv Sena (UBT) MLC Sachin Ahir, who got elected to the post of Maharashtra legislative council's deputy chairman as the ruling Mahayuti candidate, on Thursday brushed aside speculation over his future political role, saying, "let me play the innings first."
He was responding to Shiv Sena head and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde's comments that, like cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar, Ahir would play a "major innings". Shinde had made the remark after Ahir filed his nomination for the deputy chairperson's post on Tuesday.
