Team Thackeray In Trouble - Key Leader Missing With MLAs

Tuesday, 21 June 2022newsdesk

Eknath Shinde, senior Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra Minister of Urban Development and Public Works, along with around 20 Sena MLAs, has gone incommunicado a day after the Bharatiya Janata Party won five of the 10 seats in the Legislative Council polls despite not having adequate numbers on its side.

Shinde’s absence has set off speculation that the ruling Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) alliance government may be in danger.

As per news report of The Indian Express, Shinde is supposed to be currently in Gujarat. “We do not know of his whereabouts. I am sure that he will come out and clear his stand,” said Shiv Sena leader Neelam Gorhe. Targeting the BJP, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said there is a conspiracy to topple the Uddhav Thackeray government in the "same pattern as in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan". "Shiv Sena is a party of loyalists. We won't let that happen," he said.
