The Shiv Sena delegation met the deputy chairman and party chief Uddhav Thackeray gave a letter of recommendation regarding the selection of Danve.

Therefore, the position of Leader of the Opposition belongs to us. Shiv Sena MP Arvind Sawant commented on the displeasure of the Congress saying that it is as per the rules.
