Thackeray is chief of a Shiv Sena-Congress-NCP coalition which was formed after his party broke ties with the BJP following the October Assembly polls in Maharashtra.

Kamat, now leader of opposition in the Goa Assembly, was CM of a coalition government between 2007-12. "Personal egos, high-handedness and self centric aspirations need to be kept aside to run a successful coalition government. I have experienced it and completed my five year term as CM," Kamat said.

"I am confident the alliance government of Congress, NCP and Shiv Sena, supported by other like minded parties, will work effectively with the common minimum programme," he added.
