MUMBAI: Former chief minister and Congress leader Prithviraj Chavan said that chief minister Uddhav Thackeray was perhaps in the dark about Shiv Sena MLAs deserting the party because he did not have the home portofolio with himself or with the Sena. He said this during the release of a book held at the Press Club on Wednesday.
Even in the MVA government, the NCP had claimed the portfolio. Chavan said that this factor alone robbed Udhav Thackeray of an opportunity to have prior information about a section of Sena MLAs leaving for Surat.
