Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has hinted that a major role might be in the offing for Shiv Sena chief Uddhav Thackeray’s son Aditya Thackeray if the BJP-Sena combine comes to power in the 2019 Assembly elections.

"He will definitely have a role. Along with Uddhav, he has been active in the Shiv Sena for many years. His role is increasing now. Later, when our government is formed, he should play a major role is what I feel," Fadnavis told CNN-News18 during his Mahajanadesh Yatra.
The statement assumes significance given that the CM has been facing tremendous internal pressure from the state BJP to fight the upcoming elections alone. Some senior BJP leaders had also recently hinted that the party may go solo.
