Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray offered his predecessor, the BJP's Devendra Fadnavis, praise and criticism in equal measure during a speech in the Assembly on Sunday.

Earlier in the day, power structures within the Assembly began to take shape with the unopposed election of Congress MLA Nana Patole as Speaker and that of Fadnavis as Leader of the Opposition. On Fadnavis' election, Uddhav Thackeray had a quip ready.

"I have learnt a lot of things from Devendra Fadnavis and I will always be friend with him.

I won't call you (Fadnavis) 'Opposition' leader, but I will call you a 'responsible' leader," Uddhav Thackeray told the Assembly after Fadnavis' new role was announced.
