Going by the numbers, the ruling Democratic Front coalition currently has only 138-139 legislators on its side, the Sena chief said. It needs 145 for a simple majority.
Expressing confidence that the saffron combine would come to power, he said it was only a question of days before it happened, a report in Saamna, quoting Thackeray, said.
He claimed that Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh had originally sought 15 days' time to prove his majority, but was granted 10 days by the governor.
