After the meeting, state minister and Shiv Sena leader Uday Samant said that in this executive meeting, CM Eknath Shinde was elected as the Chief leader of the party.

He informed that many important proposals were presented in this meeting, including the proposal to give Bharat Ratna to Veer Savarkar.
