Maharashtra CM resignation: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray announced his resignation from the Chief Minister post in a Facebook live on June 28, 2022. He has also resigned from the MLC post. The announcement came right after the Supreme Court refused to order a stay on the floor test tomorrow.

Uddhav Thackeray expressed his gratitude to the people of NCP and Congress who supported him. He also said that he is satisfied that they have officially renamed Aurangabad to Sambhaji Nagar and Osmanabad to Dharashiv - the cities named by Balasaheb Thackeray.

The Shiv Sena leader said, "I had come (to power) in an unexpected manner and I am going out in a similar fashion. I am not going away forever, I will be here, and I will once again sit in Shiv Sena Bhawan. I will gather all my people. I am resigning as the CM & as an MLC."

Uddhav Thackeray will now be heading to the Raj Bhawan to submit his resignation letter.

Shiv Sena Leader Sanjay Raut penned a heartfelt note in Marathi after Uddhav Thackeray announced his resignation as Maharashtra CM. The loose translated version of the note reads, "We have lost a sensitive and cultured Chief Minister. History tells us that the end of fraud is not good. Thackeray won, the people also won. This is the beginning of the grand victory of Shiv Sena."
