Sena vs Sena: Tension mounts as Sena-BJP awaits SC verdict on disqualification plea of 16 MLAs from Shinde camp

The Hindu  

The political landscape in Maharashtra is on the verge of significant upheaval with the eagerly anticipated Supreme Court ruling on the disqualification plea of 16 MLAs of Chief Minister Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena likely to come up on Thursday. As the leaders of the Shinde faction display signs of nervous anticipation, their alliance partner Bharatiya Janata Party remains hopeful that the top court’s outcome will not have much impact on the current government. “Irrespective of the verdict, the decision regarding the disqualification of MLAs falls under the jurisdiction of the Legislative Assembly Speaker,” he said highlighting the Speaker’s prerogative in this matter. While addressing the party workers in Kolhapur last week, Mr. Fadnavis said Mi punha yein, which also sparked speculation about the verdict’s implications and his chances of heading the government again.
