Shiv Sena Chief
and Chief Minister designate Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday morning met Govrnor
Bhagat Singh Koshyari at Raj Bhawan

Thackeray
who is all set to be sworn in as chief minister of Maharashtra on November 28
and form a govt led by the Maha Vikas Aghadi, an alliance of Shiv Sena, NCP and
Cong  in the state.

The governoe
said on Tuesday, said Thackeray will take oath as the chief minister at 6:40
PM tomorrow at the Shivaji Park in Dadar.

Earlier, NCP chief Sharad Pawar had announced at a joint
meeting of the three parties that swearing-in of the new government will take
place on 1st of December, but the schedule was apparently changed late last
night.

According to a statement by Raj Bhavan, the Governor, in a
letter addressed to Uddhav Thackeray, said he has noted that Maharashtra Vikas
Aghadi has won 166 number of elected members. It further added that since
Uddhav is not a member of Maharashtra legislature, he will have to become a
member within six months after taking oath as the Chief Minister.

According to sources the decision to elect Uddhav Thackeray
as nominee for Chief Minister’s post was taken at a joint meeting of the three
parties at a suburban hotel in Mumbai yesterday, hours after the four-day-old
BJP government led by Devendra Fadnavis and supported by NCP’s Ajit Pawar
collapsed. The leaders of the three parties submitted a letter claiming support
of 166 MLAs to the governor.
