The political turmoil that is currently taking place has shaken the core of Maharashtra. In a recent development, the rebel leader Eknath Shinde claimed that he has the support of more than 50 MLAs of which 40 are from Shiv Sena. Currently, Eknath Shinde is camping in BJP-ruled Assam.

In an exclusive interview with NDTV, Shinde said that those who have faith in their role will join them. He said that they want to carry forward Balasaheb Thackeray’s ideology, and those who like it will come.

Shinde said that the move of Shiv Sena to file disqualification notices against the rebel MLAs was illegal, he said that what was done yesterday is illegal, and they have no right. They are the people in the majority and numbers are important in a democracy. That is illegal, even if they cannot do such suspension.

Eknath Shinde, 58, also said that there has been no discussion between the rebels and Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, who is also the Shiv Sena chief.

On Thursday, Eknath Shinde shared a tweet in which he wrote who are you trying to scare? We know your make-up and the law too! His tweet further read that according to the 10th Schedule to the Constitution (Schedule) the whip is for assembly work, not for meetings. There are numerous Supreme Court decisions in this regard.
