Amid delay in finalising the seat sharing pact for the assembly polls which are less than a month away, Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday said that talks with BJP chief Amit Shah were progressing well and a final decision would be announced soon.
He said he would fulfil the promise he had made to his father and late Sena supremo Bal Thackeray of making a Shiv sainik (party worker) the chief minister of Maharashtra.
Thackeray was addressing party workers and ticket aspirants at Rang Sharda Auditorium in Bandra here.
"If the alliance materialises, Shiv Sena is not the one to backstab. We oppose openly," he said.
Stating that he wants the Sena to be power in Maharashtra, he said, "I had promised Balasaheb that I will make a Shiv sainik the chief minister of Maharashtra. I have vowed to fulfil this promise."
