Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) chief Uddhav Thackeray on Saturday predicted mid-term elections in Maharashtra and asked party workers to start preparations.
He was speaking at a meeting of the party's Assembly constituency-level functionaries at the party headquarters 'Sena Bhavan' here.
The Shiv Sena (UBT) chief spokesperson Arvind Sawant briefed reporters about the meeting.
Thackeray predicted mid-term Assembly elections in the state soon and asked the cadres to start preparations, Sawant said.
Mid-term polls were inevitable as Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday announced projects worth Rs 2 lakh crore for Maharashtra, Sawant said.
"Just like voters in Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat are being lured with packages and announcements, this announcement by the PM is also an indicator that Maharashtra will have elections," said the South Mumbai MP.
But there was no clarity about the details of the projects the PM was talking about, he added.
