Ease for Shinde Camp as the Supreme Court asks the speaker not to take any action against 16 MLAs until the matter is listed for hearing.
The Supreme Court hearing the petitions regarding the political events in Maharashtra may decide the fate of the Eknath Shinde-Devendra Fadnavis regime. However, the SC on Monday refused an urgent hearing on a plea filed by Uddhav Thackeray on the Maharashtra political fiasco as the petition had opposed Maharashtra’s governor’s decision to invite rebel Sena MLAs to form the government.
The apex court said that it is not listing the matter tomorrow and it will take some time. It also ordered the Solicitor General to inform the Speaker of Maharashtra not to take any action against the 16 rebel Shiv Sena MLAs. The bench was to hear the petitions on trust vote issues against 16 Sena rebel MLAs.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut said that the plea filed in the Supreme Court is not about the survival of the Shinde govt, but it is about the survival of democracy. He also claimed that it’s a big test for a ‘free and fair judiciary.
Former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray claimed the grassroots Shiv Sena workers were firm with the organization, despite “betrayal” by those whom the party trusted.
Meanwhile, Uddhav Thackeray has also called for a meeting on Monday at 12 pm with all the party MPs over the presidential elections.
