Ahead of another round of acrimonious debate in the Supreme Court over the political crisis in Maharashtra, the Uddhav Thackeray-led camp has filed a counterclaim before the apex court, stating that the Eknath Shinde-led faction “cooks a meal”. Justifying his action. The story of the rooster and the bull”.
The reply, accessed exclusively by CNN-News18, reads: “It is interesting to see the arguments on the part of the criminal legislators who are trying to justify their anti-party activities by making a tale of cock and bull to see how they are baffled. The party leadership’s decision to break ties with its natural ally the BJP and form the government with its natural enemies, the Congress and the NCP.
It added that the Shinde faction, without any supporting documents or data, brazenly pleads that he was left out before the voters of his constituency and therefore did what was necessary to exit the unnatural alliance.
“The natural ally they speak of has used the Shiv Sena only for their vested political interests. The Uddhav camp said, the so-called natural ally never treated Shiv Sena equally and always treated the latter as a second-rate partner.
It also noted that the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) gave the Shiv Sena its fair share in the government and allowed the party to lead with its chief minister.
“Many criminal MLAs including Eknath Shinde were cabinet ministers in the said government and held powerful government positions at other places as well. Ever since the MVA government came to power, these criminal MLAs have always benefited from it. He has not even once complained that there is any dissatisfaction among party workers or voters of his constituencies, the affidavit said.

It has also been said by the team of former Maharashtra Chief Minister that when the delinquent MLAs have shown absolutely little respect for the sanctity of the apex court, they cannot be expected to respect democratic ethos or constitutional values in any way. . Now flagged by them as purely an idea, to hide their own constitutional sin”.
This affidavit has been filed in response to the counter-affidavits and petitions filed by the Eknath Shinde camp. Earlier, the Shinde camp, in its general reply, had said that if the legal position held by the Thackeray faction is accepted, it would result in minority atrocities within the House and the chief minister losing his own party’s confidence. . ,
