All eyes on CM Uddhav's address

Amid a faceoff with actor Kangana Raut and facing severe flak for the course of investigation in the SSR probe, Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray will address the state via video conference at 1 pm on Sunday, a statement from CMO said. The reason for holding a news conference is not known. However, the decision comes at a time when the Coronavirus cases in the state have crossed the 1 million mark and he is also facing enormous criticism over the actions of administrative bodies and the political party under his aegis.
