New Delhi, 29 June 2022

As per news report of NDTV, The Sena legislators, led by senior minister Eknath Shinde, have raised the banner of revolt against their party. These MLAs had first come to Guwahati on June 22 and subsequently in several batches from Gujarat's Surat in chartered flights. Amid criticism that the Sena dissidents were staying at a hotel in Guwahati even as parts of Assam were grappling with severe floods, Deepak Kesarkar, the spokesperson of the rebel MLAs told Press Trust of India, "(Eknath) Shinde has donated ₹ 51 lakh to the Assam Chief Minister's Relief Fund as our contribution to their ongoing rescue work. We cannot ignore the plight of people here." Mr Kesarkar added that with Maharashtra Governor BS Koshyari asking the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government to prove their majority in the Assembly tomorrow, the rebel MLAs have decided to move out of Guwahati and shift to a place near Mumbai.
