Amidst the tumultuous political events in the state of maharashtra, a meeting of shiv sena MLAs is scheduled to take place at 5 pm today. In maharashtra, a Shiv Sena-Congress-Nationalist Congress-led coalition government led by chief minister Uttam thackeray is in power. Meanwhile, shiv sena senior leader Eknath Shinde, who is also the state minister, went to Surat, Gujarat, with his supportive MLAs due to dissatisfaction with the party leadership. Following this, he is currently seeking asylum in Guwahati, Assam. Meanwhile, the shiv sena has ordered the removal of Eknath Shinde party chief Korada from office.
It has been reported that there are 22 MLAs, including 5 Independent MLAs, with minister Eknath Shinde and they have not been able to contact anyone. As a result, the government led by chief minister Uttam thackeray is in crisis. If 22 people, including the minister, withdraw their support for the coalition government, chief minister Uttam thackeray will not only lose his majority but also overthrow the government. The issue has caused a storm in maharashtra state politics.
Amidst the tense political situation, a meeting of shiv sena MLAs is scheduled to be held at the residence of chief minister Uttam thackeray in the capital Mumbai at 5 pm today. All the MLAs have been informed about this through whatsapp and e-mail. It has been warned that all shiv sena MLAs should attend this meeting and any non-participating MLAs will be considered to leave the party and your membership will be canceled.
Meanwhile, shiv sena disgruntled mla Eknath Shinde said there was no support from the BJP. shiv sena senior leader Sanjay Rawat has said that no decision will be taken until all the MLAs return to Mumbai.
