Shinde Camp Moves SC Against Disqualification Notice
Mumbai: The political crisis in Maharashtra further deepened as the rebel MLA Eknath Shinde camp on Sunday went to the Supreme Court, filing an appeal against the Shiv Sena’s move to disqualify him and 15 other MLAs. A vacation bench of Justices Surya Kant and J B Pardiwala is likely to hear Shinde’s plea on Monday, seeking directions to the deputy speaker to not take any action in the disqualification petition against him.
Shinde and a sizable number of MLAs rebelled against the leadership of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on June 21 and are currently in Guwahati in Assam. Their main demand is that the Sena withdraws from the Maha Vikas Aghadi alliance, which also comprises the Congress and NCP.
Apart from this, the Shinde camp has also challenged the appointment of Ajay Choudhari as the Shiv Sena Legislature Party leader and the rejection of no-confidence motion against Deputy Speaker Narahari Zirwal.
