Aaditya Thackeray, Shiv Sena MLA, may face disqualification after he "defied" a whip to vote for Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde during a test of strength today.
The Shiv Sena's Eknath Shinde faction, after winning the majority test in the Maharashtra assembly, has given a petition to Speaker Rahul Narwekar to suspend 16 MLAs of Uddhav Thackeray faction for defying the whip to support the government.
Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is likely to return to Mumbai from Goa today along with rebel Shiv Sena MLAs, sources told NDTV. Mr Shinde travelled to Goa last night, his second visit since taking oath.
Claiming the support of 170 MLAs, Shinde exuded confidence that he will win the floor test comfortably
Former Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has asked the Supreme Court to restrict Shiv Sena MLAs - "pawns of the BJP" who rebelled against him - from participating in assembly proceedings.
