Responding to the question of whether Pawar has suggested Raut's name for the CM, Raut said, "This is incorrect. People of Maharashtra want Uddhav Thackeray as the Chief Minister."

Asked if the three non-BJP parties would meet the state governor on Friday itself, Raut quipped, "Why meet the governor when the President's rule is in place".

When asked about reports that the BJP had agreed to share the CM's post with the Sena, Raut said, "The time for offers has ended."
