Addressing a joint press conference with Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Mr Shinde said, "Maharashtra has a strong government. We have 164 MLAs while the opposition has 99. My government will complete its tenure. We will even win the next election."
He further said the existence of Shiv Sena MLAs came under threat during the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government and so he revolted against the coalition.
"The existence of our MLAs came under threat under the MVA government. Back then we could not speak that is why we took the step. It is only the natural alliance of BJP and Shiv Sena that can take Maharashtra ahead," Mr Shinde added.
