Shinde, Fadnavis wish ex-Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray on 62nd birthday

As Uddhav Thackeray turned 62 on Wednesday, both Eknath Shinde and devendra fadnavis extended their greetings to him. However the Maharashtra Chief Minister and his deputy skipped calling him the Shiv Sena president while wishing him.

After unseating Thackeray—the head of the Maha Vikas Aghadi government, which besides Shiv Sena comprised NCP and Congress—the Shinde-Fadnavis duo took over on June 30.
