Maharashtra political crisis: What to expect today in the Uddhav Thackeray-Eknath Shinde war

India Today  

Maharashtra’s political crisis is deepening by the hour with the Eknath Shinde camp swelling and Uddhav Thackeray floundering as his Shiv Sena MLAs desert him. The Shiv Sena approached Deputy Speaker of Maharashtra Assembly Narhari Zirwal and demanded that the membership of the rebel MLAs who didn't attend the party meeting on Thursday evening be cancelled. Last night, the Uddhav Thackeray group handed him a letter seeking the disqualification of 12 MLAs in the Eknath Shinde camp, including Shinde himself. Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar will be closely watched in the wake of his uncle and NCP president Sharad Pawar slamming him for announcing that there is no BJP hand behind Eknath Shinde's coup.
