Raj Thackeray clearly expressed his readiness to become Chief Minister of Maharashtra if the opportunity arose.
While speaking on the Congress party's national street vendors policy, he said, too many people from outside have encroached on Central and state government land in Mumbai to build shanties and slums. "But I can't do anything from outside. To stop that you need a government in your hand."
When Rajat Sharma asked him, how could he form a government, when he himself was not contesting elections, Thackeray said, "It's not about fighting elections. If we get the power then I will not spare an opportunity to form the government ...
"I'm not craving to become the CM nor do I desire a lavish house. If power is used in the right manner then miracles can happen. I have seen them…in Gujarat. Rather than sitting as kings, they must be like a trustee. They don't behave like trustees and that's when problem arises."
