Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday said that he has told the Secretaries to use taxpayers' money in the best way and should not be wasted.

I told them to use taxpayers money in the best way, and that it should not be wasted," he said while addressing a press conference.

"I am the first Chief Minister who was born in Mumbai. It is going on in my mind, what I can do for the city," he said. Uddhav was sworn-in as the Chief Minister of the state by Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Thursday.

Later, he announced that his Cabinet has taken a decision to allot Rs 20 crore for the development of Raigad.
