A legislator has to obey the party whip, Uddhav Thackeray tells Supreme Court

The Hindu  

A legislator has to obey the party whip and cannot diverge on his own, saying his constituency is disillusioned by the ruling party leadership, former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray argued in the Supreme Court on Wednesday. Chandrachud, senior advocate Kapil Sibal, for Mr. Thackeray, was countering Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde’s explanation that he and his supporters had been unhappy about Mr. Thackeray’s leadership and perceived inaccessibility. To this, Mr. Sibal said a political leader is concerned about his or her constituency, but a legislator is concerned with the entire State. “As a legislator in the House, his interest in his constituency is subjugated by the interest in the entire State… He cannot, in the interest of his own constituency, say I will not obey the party whip,” the senior lawyer said.
