Uddhav Thackeray said he was willing to quit his post as Chief Minister while making his address amid a growing political crisis in Maharashtra.
“If you (MLAs) say, then I am ready to leave the CM post. It's not about numbers but how many are against me. I will leave if even one person or MLA is against me. It's very shameful for me if even a single MLA is against me,” Thackeray said.
While offering to quit, he also said, “When my own people don't want me in the position what can I say. If they had something against me, what was the need of saying all this in Surat, they could have come here and said this to my face.”
He also said, “CM posts will come and go but the real asset is the affection of the people. In the past 2 years, I was fortunate enough to get a lot of affection from people.”
