Thackeray also spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the 10-minute conversation.
Sources said no specifics were discussed in the elephonic conversation except a broad agreement that was made to move forward in Maharashtra.
The Shiv Sena chief also spoke to Devendra Fadnavis, the frontrunner for the chief minister’s post and senior state BJP leader Om Mathur.
The BJP fell short of a majority in Maharashtra by 22 seats. The saffron brigade won altogether 123 Assembly seats in Maharashtra.
