Hindustan Times  

Rebel Shiv Sena MLA Deepak Kesarkar on Sunday said the faction led by disgruntled party leader Eknath Shinde had a majority that could easily pass a floor test in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. Kesarkar added that more MLAs will join that Shinde-led rebel camp, following which its strength would reach 51 – way above the magic number of 37 and enough to challenge Maharashtra’s ruling coalition of the Maha Vikas Aghadi. “MLAs of the Shinde camp are ready to face the floor test in the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly at any time, but first recognition should be given to the Eknath Shinde faction. Maharashtra deputy speaker Narhari Zirwal has sent notices to the 16 Shiv Sena rebel MLAs.
