"Today is the golden day in the history of our country. We are witnessing only victory everywhere," Thackeray said while addressing a press conference at the party headquarters at Dadar in central Mumbai, where his wife Rashmi and son Aaditya were also present.
Stating that the Shiv Sena had supported the BJP during its difficult days, Thackeray said, "Now, when their situation is improving they will not do anything wrong to us."
Maharashtra Industries Minister Narayan Rane today resigned from his post in the wake of defeat of his son and sitting MP from Ratnagiri-Sindhudurg seat, Nilesh Rane on his home turf by a Shiv Sena candidate. However, when asked about it Thackeray termed the development as mere "drama".
