Eknath Shinde on Wednesday made it clear that he has assured PM Modi of abiding by whatever decision the BJP takes on naming his successor.
Addressing a press conference at his house in Thane, Shinde (60) said he will "fully support" BJP leadership's decision to name the next CM, and won't be a hurdle in the process.
"I called PM Modi and Amit Shah yesterday and told them to decide (on who will be the CM post), and assured them that I will abide by whatever decision they take," Shinde said.
"Our Shiv Sena will fully support the BJP's decision to name the next Maharashtra CM. There is no speed breaker from our side," Shinde said, showing no trace on his face of having swallowed the bitter pill, in the backdrop of a concerted campaign by the Sena leaders for his continuation in the saddle.
Shinde rubbished reports that he was disappointed for not getting a second term as CM despite the ruling Mahayuti alliance winning a thumping victory under his leadership.
