Uddhav wanted to make Shinde CM in 2019 but BJP, MVA allies stood in the way: Sanjay Raut

Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut claimed that Uddhav Thackeray intended to appoint Eknath Shinde as Maharashtra's chief minister after the 2019 elections, but the BJP and MVA allies, including Sharad Pawar, obstructed the plan. Shinde's ambition was thwarted due to political disagreements within the alliance.
