Sharad Pawar's NCP, Uddhav Thackeray on Friday said that he would not accept the formula of the biggest party in the Maha Vikas Aghadi getting the chief minister's post after the assembly polls. Thackeray said that the Congress and the NCP-SP should declare a chief ministerial candidate before the assembly polls and that he is ready to support any candidate declared by the two parties. «I don't want this experience that we had with the BJP to be recreated again. We were together for 25-30 years and we had an arrangement that the party with the most seats would get the CM post.

Those who are treading a new path, who are constructing something new, understand that being an exception is as valuable to them as their very lives. Those who lead licentious lives get involved in brawls and fights, but exceptional people do not want to live such a life.
