Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has been in recovery since undergoing cervical spine surgery on November 12
If Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray is taking time to recuperate post the surgery, the charge of his office should be given to state urban development minister and senior Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde, Union minister Raosaheb Danve, a BJP leader, said on Sunday.
The CM had undergone cervical spine surgery on November 12 and was discharged from hospital on December 2. He had also missed the winter session of the state legislature between December 22 and 28.
Speaking to reporters at Aurangabad railway station after travelling on board a newly commissioned Jalna-Pune train service, the Lok Sabha MP said Shinde is a capable minister.
“I am not trying to create trouble in the Sena. I’m just saying if it is taking time for Uddhav Thackeray to recover, then he should hand over the charge of CM to Shinde,” said the Union minister of state for railways said.
