Hindustan TimesMUMBAI: The returning officer of the South Mumbai collectorate has sent a show cause notice to the CM’s office, seeking details of a party meeting conducted by chief minister Eknath Shinde at his official residence ‘Varsha’ on Saturday. CMO gets show cause notice about Shinde’s party meeting After facing immense criticism from party colleagues on the BJP snatching seats meant for the Shiv Sena, and trying to quell dissent from those who were dropped, Shinde had held a meeting of all Shiv Sena ministers, some MLAs and party functionaries. “We sent it to South Mumbai returning officer Ravi Katakdhond, and he issued a letter to the programme officer of the chief minister’s secretariat. I will get a report when Katakdhond completes his inquiry.” The state’s chief electoral officer S Chockalingam said that ideally the meeting should not have been held.
