He in a press conference held at Matoshree on Wednesday, said in a barb at the ruling alliance, said, "if only the elected people form the party, tomorrow anyone with money will become Prime Minister or the Chief Minister."

Thackeray's statement came over Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena faction's claim that elected representatives form the party. He also noted that the 'runaways' have no right to claim the party.

"There is only one Shiv Sena. I don't consider the other group as Shiv Sena," he added.

Thackeray on freezing of name, symbol

Uddhav Thackeray, while speaking on the case before Election Commission of India, said that they have fulfilled all the requirements as stated by the EC. He questioned that if the Shinde faction was not going to contest Andheri by-polls, why did they freeze our name and symbol.
