Maharashtra Political Crisis Updates: Plea in SC to Restrain Rebels from Contesting Polls for 5 Yrs

News 18  

Maharashtra Political Crisis Updates: Maharashtra Chief Minister and Shiv Sena supremo Uddhav Thackeray on Wednesday broke his silence after his government was pushed to the brink of collapse by rebel party leader Eknath Shinde and said he was ready to quit his post if the rebel MLAs tell him that they don’t want him to continue as CM of the state. Shiv Sena rebel leader Eknath Shinde had sought time from the 80-year-old Maharashtra Governor to meet at the Raj Bhavan as he is camping with 40 other MLAs at Guwahati’s Radisson Blu Hotel. Thackeray cancelled meeting with Shiv Sena MLAs hours after the party had asked all its MLAs in Maharashtra, including the rebels accompanying Shinde, to attend a legislature party meeting in Mumbai at 5 pm or face action under the anti-defection law. A chartered flight carrying Shinde and Shiv Sena MLAs, who have rebelled against the party, arrived in Assam’s Guwahati city early Wednesday.
