Mumbai: Amid the ongoing turmoil in Maharashtra, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray left the chief minister’s residence Varsha on Wednesday night and moved to his family home Matoshree.
In presence of a huge crowd of party workers, Uddhav along with his son Aditya and family members reached Matoshree, where he was greeted with a shower of flowers.
Shiv Sainiks were shouting slogans in their support. In such a situation, they got down outside Matoshree and greeted the workers. Meanwhile, Eknath Shinde along with party MLAs is camping in Guwahati. Gradually, their fight is becoming heavier, which is likely to make the situation worse.
Three more Shiv Sena MLAs left for Guwahati in Assam this morning to join the rebel camp. Deepak Keskar (MLA from Sawantwadi), Mangesh Kudalkar (Chembur) and Sada Sarvankar (Dadar) took a morning flight from Mumbai to Guwahati.
The Shinde camp now has 36 MLAs (out of the party’s 55 MLAs). In such a situation, Shinde now needs only one more MLA to divide the party without facing disqualification under the anti-defection laws. Five independent MLAs are also with Shinde.
