Deepak Kesarkar, spokesperson of the Eknath Shinde camp holds a press conference in Panaji where the rebels are holed up.

"Yesterday, CM Uddhav Thackeray resigned. We didn't indulge in any kind of celebration as removing him was not our intention. We are still in Shiv Sena and it is not our intention to hurt and disrespect Uddhav Thackeray. We have not gone to SC against Thackeray.

"Eknath Shinde has left for Mumbai. He has said that whatever decision will be made, it will be for the development of the state.

"We have not backstabbed anyone. These statements given by Sanjay Raut are just to spread displeasure among people. We are not against the Thackeray family. We are ready to talk to Uddhavji if he breaks the alliance with MVA but he is still with them.

"Maharashtra BJP leader Devendra Fadnavis will decide the oath-taking date. It is the prerogative of the Governor to give him that date. Our negotiations have already started and we will form a govt."
