Addressing the state Assembly, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis invited Shiv Sena (UBT) chief and former CM Uddhav Thackeray to join the ruling side. "Look, Uddhav-ji, there's no scope of our going (in the Opposition) till 2029. But if you want to come over here, then consider it," he said. "His remarks were made in jest," Uddhav said on Fadnavis' remarks.
