Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray has expressed satisfaction over son Uddhav Thackeray’s handling of the affairs of the party he founded four decades ago.

“I am satisfied… Uddhav has handled the party affairs with confidence and strength,” the 83-year-old leader said in an interview. Uddhav is now Sena executive president.

Expressing his haplessness over not being able to meet as many people as he used to earlier owing to frail health,Thackeray said “even today people meet me but due to the ailments,I don’t have the strength I once had.”
