Mumbai: Uddhav Thackeray has made up his mind to support NDA candidate Draupadi Murmu in the presidential election. Uddhav's decision is a surprise as Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut was in favour of opposition candidate Yashwant Sinha. At the same time, some Shiv Sena MPs were supporting Draupadi Murmu.

According to sources, Uddhav Thackeray has now agreed to support NDA candidate Draupadi Murmu. That is, he has accepted the party's MPs by bypassing Sanjay Raut's opinion. Let me tell you that there was a meeting of Shiv Sena yesterday. Only 11 out of the party's 19 MPs had attended it. Most of these MPs had appealed to Uddhav to support Draupadi Murmu in the presidential election. At the same time, Sanjay Raut said that the Shiv Sena should support Yashwant Sinha. The final decision on the matter was to be taken by Uddhav Thackeray.

Now that the matter of support for Draupadi Murmu has come out, Sanjay Raut's statement on it has also come. He said "Supporting Draupadi does not mean supporting the Bharatiya Janata Party. The Shiv Sena has good relations with Yashwant Sinha, but the sentiments of the people should also be taken care of. The Shiv Sena has often taken such decisions. Uddhav's decision is also a setback to the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance. Because the remaining two partners of the MVA, the Congress and Sharad Pawar's NCP, are supporting Yashwant Sinha.''
