Uddhav Thackeray offers to quit as Sena chief amid rebellion: Ready to pick anyone

Amid the deepening rebellion within Shiv Sena UBT, party chief Uddhav Thackeray on Friday offered to step down from his position if party workers no longer had faith in his leadership, saying he was willing to hand over the reins to any worker if members felt he was no longer fit to lead.

Addressing party cadres at the Shiv Sena Foundation Day, Thackeray said he was prepared to make "anyone" the party chief and would not cling to the post. However, he asserted that he would not give up the fight for the party's ideology.

"I will not give up. But the day you feel I am not righteous for this position, I will leave," Thackeray said.
