Political instability in a huge state like Maharashtra amid the COVID-19 crisis is not right and CM Uddhav urged the PM to look into it.
Mumbai| On Tuesday evening, Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Uddhav Thackeray called PM Modi and expressed concern over the current political uncertainty in the state.
Maharashtra CM sought Prime Minister’s help in alleviating a brewing political vulnerability in the state, reported India Today TV.
CM Uddhav Thackeray told the Prime Minister, “The state cannot afford political instability during such a crucial period and it will also send across a wrong message. It should be avoided,” reported India Today TV.
The phone call came a day after leaders of the ruling Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) met Governor B.S. Koshyari with a fresh cabinet proposal to nominate Uddhav Thackeray to the Legislative Council through the governor’s quota.
The first recommendation of the state cabinet had been made on April 9.

As per the source, the Prime Minister has affirmed CM Uddhav Thackeray that he will examine the matter at the earliest.
Uddhav Thackeray is not a member of either house of the state legislature presently. He was sworn in as chief minister of Maharashtra on November 28, 2019.
If he doesn’t become a member by May 28, when he completes six months in office, he will discontinue being the chief minister.
As the elections were postponed due to novel coronavirus outbreak, Thackeray could not get elected to the Council through biennial polls.
