As the Maharashtra government’s crisis worsens, more than 40 Shivsener MLA rebels camp at a five-star hotel on the outskirts of Guwahati, and Assam’s Prime Minister Himanta Biswa is breathtaking as the Maharashtra government takes a breather. The state of Assam has clearly denied that it has anything to do with one of the biggest political developments of the week.
“There are many good hotels in Assam. Anyone can come and stay there … no problem. I don’t know if MLA in Maharashtra is staying in Assam. MLA in other states is also Assam “Mr. Salma told news agency ANI tonight.
Eknath Shinde, a rebel camp led by SenaMLA, has already reached the critical number of 37 required to divide a party in Congress without violating anti-deficiency laws. With two more Senna MLAs, he would be 39. His total strength is now 42, including the independent MLA.
Mr. Cinde’s camp posted footage from a hotel in Guwahati showing that there are 42 MLAs on his side.
In a final attempt to save the ruling Maharashtra alliance, Prime Minister Uddhav Thacke’s team has decided to seek disqualification of 17 MLAs. Of these, Team Thackeray first appealed to the Vice-Chairman of the Maharashtra State Parliament to disqualify the five MLAs.
