In the Maharashtra assembly, Shiv Sena rebel leader Eknath Shinde has been removed as the party’s legislative group leader. The news comes amid a political crisis in Maharashtra’s MVA government, which began on Wednesday.
Eknath Shinde and 26 other MLA’s of Gujarat are locked up in a resort in Surat. He has not made touch with anyone outside the resort, and no one is permitted to enter or exit the property. Nine more MLAs are expected to join him at the resort, according to sources.
Meanwhile, Sanjay Kute, a Maharashtra BJP MLA, arrived at the Le Meridien resort in Surat, Gujarat, in an attempt to meet with the rebel MLAs. The BJP is likely to offer that all rebels be transferred to Ahmedabad. Two messengers from the Uddhav Thackeray camp would be sent to Surat to speak with rebel Eknath Shinde, according to Shiv Sena sources. Milind Narvekar, Uddhav’s senior aide, and MP Rajan Vichare are likely to be sent.
After sources said Shinde may ask Shiv Sena chief and Maharashtra CM Uddhav Thackeray to ally with the BJP and leave the Congress, the Congress decided to send its senior leader Kamal Nath to Maharashtra to deal with the problem. Both the Congress and the NCP stated that the Shiv Sena will win over the issue, but that it was an internal affair for the party.
