Cracking the 'Whip': As SC Slams Maha Speaker's Move to Pick Shinde Camp Face as Sena Whip, A Look at the Role

News 18  

In a judgment that is being viewed as a setback for Maharashtra’s former chief minister Uddhav Thackeray, the Supreme Court order on Thursday in the Sena vs Sena battle means Eknath Shinde will continue in his role as the chief minister despite reaping the benefits of an “illegal” decision taken by the then Governor. The apex court added that the Speaker’s decision to appoint Bharat Gogawale of the Shinde faction as chief whip of the Shiv Sena party was illegal. Different kinds of whips The types of whips or orders issued by a political party are one-line, two-line or three-line whip, which essentially means the number of times a direction is underlined. A two-line whip is an instruction to party members to be present in the House at the time of voting and a three-line whip is issued directing them to vote as per the party line.
