After much deliberation, the Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray has finally decided to be part of the ceremony to lay the stone foundation of a handful of showpiece projects by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But Thackeray confirmed only after ally Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) assured that he would be given ‘due respect’ at the function — which means sharing the stage with the PM.
 
Infact, Senior BJP ministers Chandrakant Patil and Vinod Tawde visited Matoshree, Thackeray’s residence in Bandra, on Wednesday, to personally deliver the state government’s invite to the Sena chief for the ceremony. According to Sena sources, Thackeray hosted the ministers for around half an hour and accepted the invitation.
 
A Sena leader, on the condition of anonymity, said, “Uddhavsaheb has accepted the invitation and will attend the event. There was no discussion on where he would be seated, but the BJP has invited him for the event. It is the majority party in the government and should take a call on how best to ensure respect to Uddhavsaheb.”
