In a surprising political development, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday made an “offer” to Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray to consider joining hands with the ruling NDA alliance. While addressing the Legislative Council, Fadnavis made a light-hearted yet pointed remark, saying, “Uddhav ji, there is no scope for us to sit in the Opposition until 2029. But if you wish to come here (to the ruling side), it can be considered — although such a decision will need to be taken in a unique way.”
