I would advise the CM that a man who has lost his mind should be admitted to one of the hospitals where space is about to be vacated.
Former Maharashtra minister and Shiv Sena (Uddhav Thackeray faction) leader Aditya Thackeray has challenged Maharashtra CM Shinde to resign from his post and contest from Worli seat to prove his popularity. He said, “I am the unconstitutional Chief Minister (Eknath Shinde) to contest the assembly elections against me. If he believes that he is very popular and very strong and has the courage to contest elections, then he should contest against me from Worli assembly seat in Mumbai.”

Question raised on Aditya Thackeray’s political understanding
