Rebel Shiv Sena Leader Eknath Shinde continues to flex his muscles and continues to show that he has support of MLA’s . In a fresh video from Radisson Blu Hotel in Guwahati, rebel Maharashtra MLAs, including Eknath Shinde, – sit together and raise slogans of “Shinde sa’ab tum aage badho, hum tumhare saath hain.” 42 rebel MLAs from Maharashtra — 35 from Shiv Sena and 7 Independent MLAs — are seen together.

Back in Maharashtra, Eknath Shinde’s removal as Sena group leader in the Maharashtra Assembly is termed as valid by the Deputy Speaker.

Meanwhile , Rebel Shiv Sena MLA Sanjay Shirsat has written a letter to Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, claiming that state minister Eknath Shinde took the step of going against the party leadership as Sena MLAs, who faced “humiliation” for the last two-and-a-half years, persuaded him to do so.

Shirsat, the MLA from Aurangabad-West assembly constituency, in a letter dated June 22, claimed that despite the Shiv Sena being in power and having its own chief minister, the coterie around Thackeray never allowed them access to ‘Varsha’, the CM’s official residence.
