Maharashtra Assembly Speaker Rahul Narwekar held on Wednesday that the Eknath Shinde-led faction was the ‘real Shiv Sena’ and no MLA would be disqualified. The decision sparked outrage in the Opposition ranks with several leaders from the Maha Vikas Aghadi lashing out at the ruling coalition. Former Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray also declared his intention to approach the Supreme Court over the matter.
“The Speaker’s order that has come today is a murder of democracy and is also an insult to the decision of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court had clearly said that the Governor had misused his position and made a wrong decision…We will fight this battle further and we have full confidence in the Supreme Court…Supreme Court will not stop without giving complete justice to the people and Shiv Sena…” Thackeray said.
